Seen a artical in The Smallholder magazine about the man that cloned Dolly the sheep saying that smallholders could one day maybe stock wooly mammoth on their smallholdings I think he has playing around with TOO much cloning stuff lately?

Do they eat more or less than an elephant?  How many per acre?  Is there a market with home spinners for their floof?  Could the local abatoir cope with them or is it home kill?

[Bionic]

Buttermilk, I will let you know the answers to all of those questions when I get mine

Is floof the correct technical term for mammoth fleece?

Is floof the correct technical term for mammoth fleece?

Maybe not but it sounds good!

Apparently they are well on the way to being able to implant a baby mammoth into an elephant mother.  I think it's the Japanese who are fairly determined to succeed.  Of course we'd all have to move our smallholdings to the Steppes and turn them into giantholdings  That's half a woolly mammoth hug........
