It's a method to produce more offspring from one donor cow than what she can produce if she were bred and produced calves normally. These embryos that come from a superior cow (which come from a process called super-ovulation) are taken out of that donor cow and put into other non-related cows to develop into calves.
disadvantages are that if it goes wrong people will get sick so people will have to pay compensation
There are not many ethical issues with embryo cloning in cattle but one of them is that it's not natural.

Cattle and true buffalo cannot mate, as the embryos fail. A hybrid between the American Bison and domestic Cattle is called a Beefalo.
5,865 people are waiting for a kidney transplant!!! NO LIE!*
It is more known as "Embryo Transfer" than cloning and transplanting embryos of cattle. A cow is flushed so that she will super-ovulate, and artificially inseminated, then she's flushed again so that the embryos can be collected and transferred to donor cows. The donor cows hopefully accept the embryo that they have inserted into them and grow the embryo into a fetus then birthed as a calf. The super-ovulation is a method that encourages natural cloning, even though it's not natural itself by many standards.
In the UK, they say that 1 in 3 people will die whilst waiting for a transplant.
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.

Cattle are slaughtered for their edible meat.
cattle is beneficial to people for many reasons, but mainly for milk and beef.
depends on the transplant?
