Jacob lambs just might be coming soon to your local Fox channel.  Several
media folks have contacted me to comment on Dolly the cloned sheep's death.
A group from the San Francisco Fox TV affiliate asked that its spot be shot
with sheep in the background, which we accommodated at the campus sheep
facility.  The TV crew seemed more interested in the Jacob lambs bouncing
around their non-Jacob mothers than in Dolly.  The lambs are part of an
embryo transfer research project underway.  In the end I was asked more
about Jacob sheep than about Dolly.  If the Jacob sheep story is picked up
by other affiliates, you might see it on your local FOX channel.  I'll be
interested in hearing if the story makes it beyond the San Francisco area
(gbanderson at ucdavis.edu).
