"Starbuck (2)II", clone of the famous CIAQR sire "Hanoverhill Starbuck", was born on 7 September 2000 in Saint-Hyacinthe. The clone is a result of the combined efforts of CIAQ, L'Alliance Boviteq Inc, and the Faculté de médecine vétérinaire de l'Université de Montréal. The cloned calf was born 21 years and 5 months after Starbuck's own birth date and just under 2 years after his death (17 September 1998). The calf weighed 54.2 kg at birth and showed the same vital signs as calves produced from regular AI or ET. "Starbuck II" is derived from frozen fibroblast cells, recovered one month before the death of "Starbuck".
