[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 426690, member: 1683"] ArmyDoc- East Caney and dun are correct. It also depends on what you consider "bringing down frame sizes a bit." The actual measurements relating to relative Frame Score size is somewhat insignificant when considering the other genetic markings for Growth, Maternal, and Accuracies. Sometimes we get so concerned with the seeming importance of one trait that we lose sight of the [i][b]relative[/b][/i] importance of multi-trait selection processes. It becomes a - - "can't-see-the-forest-for-the-trees - - scenario and before you know it - a genetic characteristic of more critical import - YW, or RE, or perhaps one or more 'functional' traits (bone, legs, shoulder, spine or mammary structure) has slipped past our scrutiny and then we are put in a position of repairing our genetic BASE charactistics. "Moderation in All Things" is a good adage to adhere to in our breeding plans. Try to avoid 'single trait' selection'. DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
