Indeed. They'll be labeled "Grade A Beef" or what-have you just like any other animal products on the market.

In an ideal cloning procedure the DNA isn't modified. In a real procedure, especially how this is likely to be used to clone prize-winning adults to increase breeding stock, there are mutations that will have occurred in the source cells, there is potential for damage during the nuclear transfer, etc. Mitochondrial DNA will not come from the donor and may vary from clone-to-clone. Gestational environment will vary from clone-to-clone.

Some of these can be controlled, some can't. Some will become controllable with an available population of clones to use for source material and host mothers.
