Usually the embryos are inspected under a microscope for such things before they are transferred to a recipient cow. An embryo with a deformity won't last very long, getting miscarried by the recipient cow or end up being absorbed into the donor cow's system. Even healthy embryos can get miscarried by the recipient cow, since acceptance by that cow can be a risk in itself.

Statistics about cloning?
4 out of 12 birth mothers died and it took 276 embryos to make Dolly, the first cloned sheep.
What was the second animal after dolly the sheep to be cloned?

What are the social advantages of cloning and transplanting cattle embryos?
Social Advantages:Mass amounts of animals reproduced.The stem cells in the embryos could be used as treatment for human illnesses.More animals can be reproduced with the desired traits.The animals that have been reproduced this way can be used as a supply of organs for transplanting to humans.Scientists could use this type of cloning to help endangered species.Scientists could also attempt to bring extinct species back to life for example mammoths or dodo birds.Social Disadvantages:If for example a cow was reproduced this way and the cloning was incorrectly carried out at some point, its milk and beef could contain toxic resulting in people becoming seriously ill.If one animal was to be infected and die by an organism because of its genetic make-up, all the other animals that were part of that cloning process will also get infected and die as every clone is genetically identical to each other.
What are the social advantages and disadvantages of cloning and transporting cattle embryos?
disadvantages are that if it goes wrong people will get sick so people will have to pay compensation
Why are people scared of cloning?
Ethical and moral considerations would be the primary reason.It can be argued, should it be considered moral "playing God" and destroying what makes us as humans unique?Did you know margin for error is high for cloned animals, whereas less than one percentage of 1000 cloned animals are born without visible deformities?
