A group of Japanese scientists have successfully clones a prized bull from it's frozen testicles from when it died 13 years ago. The legendary bull, Yasufuku (pictured above), is regarded as the father of a type of high-quality beef.
During it's 13 years alive, farmers had used it's sperm to father 40,000 calves. Currently about 30% of Hida Beef (the high-quality kind that comes from this cow) can trace it's ancestry to Yasufuku.
Someone needs to make a movie about this! How's "Yasufuku Reloaded" or "Yasufuku and Me" for a title?
On a side note, someone should have told Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson to save Marley's testicles because this kind of stuff is possible now. [Pink Tentacle]
