[QUOTE="greenwillowhereford II, post: 615172, member: 7439"] Lents says that each generation of his cattle is more prepotent than the one before. At the risk of oversimplification, I think there is a certain time frame before you reach the point of snowballing like that. But I think that what we're overlooking here is that the Anxiety 4th pool was also becoming more prepotent and improved(theoretically)as Trask was developing his own line, so each time he dipped back into it, he may have been tapping into a greater prepotency and improved traits as compared to his original trip to the well. On a side note, IMO the current generation of Hazlett genetics as developed by Mr. Day is superior to the Anxiety 4th genepool of Mr. Lents when it comes to the total package, but for a combo of yield and quality grade, Choice at a yield grade 1, Hanging at 67%, the Lents cattle have no peers. The Day cattle will be 1 to2 frame scores larger, have an additional 100-200# of weaning weight, while having all the thickness, rivalling the muscle, and having more capacity; and consistently flawless udders and long life. Even in drought, he does not creep. There, I hijacked my own thread! [/QUOTE]
