[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1583149, member: 24565"] Bakewell made out pretty well. I've got a book on the way that I have never read which ties into some of his work and influence. I tend to believe that there was less movement of stock. That fit into either inbreeding, constantly returning to the same sources for breeding stock or mostly closed herd/flock type breeding. That allowed faster culling and hopefully better selection power. It was in plants and animals. Even in the 30's and 40's there were regional varieties of field corn and other crops based on the farmer maintaining his seeds and selecting. The less movement also established the divisions that we call breeds today. [/QUOTE]
