The bull gets to ejaculate into a dummy cow and is trained to do so.
Artificial insemination has been going on for a long time. The semen is collected and then cut to the appropriate number of sperm cells and then
frozen and sold.
To get the best geneticist for your heard you either buy a 100,000 dollar bull or his semen at 20 dollars a dose.
The difference in cloning is simple, the agriculturist is not making a exact copy of the bull, the cows genetic material is there also. 1/2 from the
bull 1/2 from the cow= calf.
