hmm Do you mean Selective Breeding?

If yes:

Selective Breeding is very useful in farming because:

Artificial Selection like this is used in most areas of modern farming, to great benefit as it produces:

1) More Sheep

Selectively Breeding sheep to get the size and number of offspring, and the amount of wool.

2) Better Milk

Selectively Breeding milking cows to increase milk yield and resistance to disease.

3) Better Wheat

Selectively Breeding wheat to produce new varieties and better yields disease-resistance too.

I think cloning is anarchy!!!!! It should not be done!!! It is messing with the creation of Allah. I remember a news segment on tv talking about whether or not the meat packaging should say rather or not that was cloned meat. The very idea of the whole cloning of anything is just :eek: :shock: :nervous: :scared: :mad: NOT ACCEPTABLE!! I'll start raising my own beef before that happens. They also talked about cloned milk!!!!!!! :eek: I'll stick to halal meat. Which I did buy some monday. Got some beef and lamb and halal hot dog's. The hotdog were yummy too!!! Alhumduillah! I do hate the very idea of myself slaughtering animal but i'd do it for food and to stay away from cloned meats and milk. And whatever elae is "approved by the FDA" :rolleyes: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :55: :55: :aku_astaghfirullah: :smack:

Farmers basically, select the animals with the best characteristics (as mentioned above) from existing stock so that they can produce new offspring with those characteristics. This helps Farmers to get (the things mentioned above) like Better Milk from the clones ...

lol I'm perhaps just confusing you :rubeyes:
