[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1848278, member: 42463"] That's not the way it works. Every critter on the planet with DNA has spontaneous mutations. It's a given. Breeding two animals with the same mutations produces chances of either a beneficial mutation or a detrimental one, and detrimental are far more common. This is why I use that example of the Gar Precision bull ([URL]https://utia.tennessee.edu/ansc/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2020/04/CurleyCalfSyndromeForBullBuyers.pdf[/URL]) This bull still has offspring out in the general population and we'll probably never see the harmful mutation ever be completely eliminated. Maybe there are people that know what they are talking about and others that don't realize what kind of consequences there can be... but like to act tough instead of smart. [/QUOTE]
