Experts in the US have come up with a way to make sperm from superior bulls more available to breeders. Their project, called ‘Surrogate Sires’, involves genetically editing regular bulls to make them sterile, meaning they produce none of their own sperm. As a result the most desirable steaks – from the likes of Wagyu and Black Angus cows – could soon become more widely available. He said we will soon be eating meat and drinking milk from animals whose evolution has been ‘sped up’ using technology. The UK is currently rewriting its legislation around gene-edited foods and the first gene-edited crops are expected to be available in shops this year.
