    Lee,
           If I remember my boyhood, sometimes working at the stinky end of a
    mule, It is the female, the Jenny, that is sterile. I have never been around
    Jennys, there weren't any. I guess they were sold for some other purpose.
           But as I recall all the males were geldings. Who needs a high strung
    mule? My point is that if they cloned one gelding they can do it again.
