Gene Editing in Beef Cattle?

I don't think this will turn out well….

You can read and listen to a short audio HERE

Excerpt…

Senior Farm and Ranch Broadcaster, Ron Hays, is back talking with Donnell Brown of the R.A. Brown Ranch located in Throckmorton, Texas. Hays and Brown talk in more detail about the potential of gene editing in the cattle industry.

Gene editing is a new frontier I am super excited about,” Brown said. “We are using a technology called precision breeding, where we are using CRISPR-Cas9 technology to edit an animal’s own DNA. All we are doing is switching their genetic code.”

Steve Campbell is VERY leery of trying this.

As Einstein said, “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
