I want them to clone me some aurochs. I’d like to raise them for auroch jerky and corner the market.

Yes, those aurochs gave us some of the most iconic early human art...

Domesticated aurochs also changed the human genome and human migration and development by fostering an advantageous tolerance for lactose and milk protein in adults. This made it possible for groups of early humans to rely on their herds of aurochs as a food source as they migrated throughout Europe, displacing early Neolithic peoples.

Evidence is also now to the effect that the founding populations of modern Europe came from the steppes of what is now Russian occupied eastern Ukraine, bringing with them the Indo-European languages and corded ware culture. Europeans thus can be said to be descended from cowboys.

In Tacitus there is the story of the Romans imposing a tax on the Gauls The tax was in the form of cattle hides. When asked if it was the BIG or small cattle the hides were to come from the Romans said they wanted the Big Hides. This led to a tax revolt as the big cattle were too dangerous to mess with.
Would these be the aurochs?
