[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 359722, member: 2095"] Frankie every time a sperm is created there are mutations in genes, genes cross over to different chromosomes, recessives are expressed and the same thing happens with the process of making every egg. Each embryo produced by a pair of animals is a unique individual. By a sheer biological roll of the dice, half of the offspring are going to be as good or better than the average of the parents. Eventually, some individuals will be significantly better than their parents. Likewise half are going to be the same or worse than the average of the parents......some significantly worse. A breeder who cuts the bottom 20 to 40% of his male calf crop recognizes this inescapable fact and is making every good faith effort possible to deliver cattle to his buyers that are as good or better than the genetics he himself has retained and/or purchased.
