Clone cow row farmer defends stance

Aug 26 2010

A dairy farmer at the centre of a controversy over a cloned cow has told how he would like to sell milk from its descendants as a premium product.

Steven Innes also revealed he would be prepared to buy more calves from cloned cattle and would happily feed the meat to his own children.

Mr Innes became embroiled in a row earlier this month after it emerged that meat from one of his bulls entered the food chain, despite being bred from a cloned cow. An investigation into the matter was launched by the Food Standards Agency.
