Cloning is cheaper when you buy in bulk

Odd info nugget from an AP story about breeders of fighting bulls turning to cloning: cattle cloning at ViaGen in Austin gets cheaper the more clones you buy. It's $17,500 for the first calf, $15,000 for the second, $12,500 for the third and $10,000 a calf when you buy four or more.

There wasn't any mention of double coupons, though.
