Cowboy Sports News - Rodeo's Hottest News .....My wife's uncle is Ralph Fisher (not that she wants anyone to know that), world renown animal trainer. He has numerous trained longhorn steers and has trained everything from buzzards to armadillos.
ZZ TOP TOUR IS THE LARGEST IN ROCK HISTORY - .. One of the only 500 pure-bred longhorn steers in America, a 2,000 pound black buffalo, two trained black "buzzards", and two huge rattlesnakes will be part of the stage presentation for "ZZ Top's Worldwide Texas Tour-- Taking Texas to the People." Over $140,000 is being spent to insure that the animals are as healthy and comfortable as the humans. They will travel under the direct supervision of animal expert Ralph Fisher, who holds Bachelor of Science and Master of Education degrees in agricultural education

As television cameras rolled and onlookers craned their necks, a team of scientists showed off the newest clones at A&M, which had already produced two bulls through cloning. The bulls were also on display. Animals cloned by A&M researchers gather for a group picture at the Large Animal Clinic. From left: 86 Squared, an Angus bull; one of the piglets; Second Addition, a Boer goat; and Second Chance, a Brahmanbull.
The Eagle, September 4, 2001
Texas A&M first university to successfully clone three species...In 1999, A&M researchers cloned a calf named Second Chance using cells from a deceased 21-year-old Brahman bull. They heralded the successful project as a breakthrough in herd fertility, saying cloning could one day help ranchers reproduce their best cattle.
