Funny Cide, a gelding. Does anyone here know what technologies there might be for
doing this, and who has them, or has anyone else been talking about it?
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.
