Betties can be used as well as Bob's too, to great effect. Betty's can be found in the gold camps with their own tents set up in the valleys working away quite industriously. This form of entertainment is useful in maintaining satisfaction in the work environment and keep Bob's from going to town and getting lost. Betties can be assistance in making a primitive form of clone, sometimes seen outside California. It's called a natural. Some say the naturals are healthier, but that is merely the luddite crowd. The naturals used to not get arthritis as often or as early but with the inclusion of gold aurofins in the modified DNA that advantage has receded.

Some managers like Betty's for line work better than Bob's. The are more pliant, less likely to unionize, particularly if the ani-union implant is set. They are also less inventive at removing the tracking and shock ankle bracelet. They do require more maintenance and praise to maintain production and generally do not require a lobotomy. If they discover primitive cloning, or decide it go into business on their own, it may cut short their usefulness.
