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.

What is cloning and transplanting cattle embryos?

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.

What deformities can cloned cattle embryos have?

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.
