[QUOTE="Nite Hawk, post: 1387658, member: 18682"] That is very true that ratty looking animals usually do not produce excellent offspring, and on top of that, they normally get butchered before they can produce anything, however I do know of one Holstein bull from years and years ago who as a calf was totally ratty looking, yet produced an incredible line of milkers. His name escapes me, at this time, but he became very famous... I personally wouldn't recommend breeding ratty looking animals. However if you look in the horse world, take a look at the Morgan horse, He was considered a runt-no good, yet was prepotent, and threw incredible colts.. It does happen, although it is a minority..
