[QUOTE="simme, post: 1781608, member: 40418"] In regard to the thought that the gene pool is very shallow now due to AI, how does that compare to the depth of the gene pool in nature? Like wild herds of bison, horses, mountain lions and such. No AI there and no influence of man in mating choices. Before cattle were domesticated by man, was the gene pool deeper? Environment, management and marketing should probably play a big role in breed selection. But so many still think they know which breed is best for them - and for everyone else. [/QUOTE]
