Not sure if this completely fits this board criteria, but I thought it was close enough.
Can a breeder rely on his long-cultivated genetic base when breeding? For instance, I know someone who owns a bull that sure ain't much to look at but consistently produces show quality calves. He was raised in drought conditions as a calf, which explains his lack of good looks. His sire was a really good bull.
So I realize that, for the most part, one should not use poor lookers, but exceptions can be made, right?
