Acting as a broker for nine artificial-insemination cooperatives, Clark ships the frozen semen of prize U.S. bulls (mainly Holsteins) to more than 40 countries, including the Soviet Union. Now Clark is looking to China, where he also hopes to hog the market for swine semen. His business is only seven years old, and he expects sales this year to reach $5 million...
