• Gene, the first cloned calf in the world was born in 1997 at the American Breeders Service facilities in Deforest, Wisconsin, United States. Later it was transferred and kept at the Minnesota Zoo Education Center. Three more cloned calves were born in 1998. • A
Holstein heifer named Daisy was cloned by Dr. Xiangzhong (Jerry) Yang using ear skin cells from a high-merit cow named Aspen at the University of Connecticut in 1999, followed by three additional clones, Amy, Betty, and Cathy in 1999. • Second Chance, a
Brahman bull, was cloned from Chance, a beloved celebrity bull. Second Chance was born in August, 1999 at Texas A&M University. While Chance was exceptionally gentle and affectionate, Second Chance was dangerously aggressive. • Starbuck II, a clone of Holstein breeding bull
Hanoverhill Starbuck, was born by Caesarean section on 7 September 2000. It was one of the first animals cloned for commercial purposes. • In 2000, Texas A&M University cloned a
Black Angus bull named 86 Squared, after cells from his donor, Bull 86, had been frozen for 15 years. Both bulls exhibit a natural resistance to brucellosis, tuberculosis, and other diseases which can be transferred in meat. • In 2001 researchers at
Advanced Cell Technology in Worcester, Massachusetts, United States, reported that 24 successfully cloned Holsteins had been monitored from birth to the age of four. All maintained healthy stats comparable to control cattle and reached reproductive maturity at the sound stage. Two of these cloned cattle successfully mated, each producing a healthy calf. • Millie and Emma were two female
Jersey cows cloned at the
University of Tennessee in 2001. They were the first calves to be produced using standard cell-culturing techniques. • In 2001, Brazil cloned their first heifer, Vitória. • Pampa, a Jersey calf, was the first animal cloned in
Argentina (by the company Bio Sidus) in 2002. • An Anatolian Grey bull (Efe) was cloned in
Turkey in 2009 and four female calves from the same breed (Ece, Ecem, Nilüfer, Kiraz) in 2010 by the
Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK). • In May 2010,
Got became the first cloned
Spanish Fighting Bull, cloned by Spanish scientists. • In February 2011, Brazil cloned a
