Whats the problem here with Hair multiplication? If they can clone a whole living sheep in 97, why is it taking so long to clone hair ?

To clone a sheep a single cell needs to be cloned and it will grow into a sheep from there. It's not like they cloned the sheep in its entirety with all its cells.

....er... simple really, a sheep has a reproductive system which we can manipulate to effect the process.

...er... hairs tend not to mate with each other.
