A banteng is a form of wild cattle

...not to be confused with the mad cow.

. The cells ... were stored in liquid nitrogen at minus 328 degrees. Last year, the cells were inserted into the egg of an Iowa cow.

Mooooooo! And she thought that a farmers hands on her udders were cold. :)

Although Jahava looks like a banteng, he has genetic material from the cow, zoo geneticist Oliver Ryder said. If Jahava mates with another banteng, the offspring is expected to be full banteng, he said

Biologically speaking, this doesn't make sense to me. If he also contains cow DNA, how can they guarantee that his sperm will be full banteng with no cow in it?

collected from a male banteng born at the zoo in 1974 that never reproduced

Never reproduced? Good genes they have chosen.
