Re: breeder digest statement about bone and motherhood
I will not argue you on your thoughts and I am confident that you are correct in your setting. In most species of livestock, it seems like the most maternal breeds are often perhaps the frailest in bone-i.e. Angus, Holstein, Commercial based sow lines. There are exceptions to every rule and the point of my comment was two fold and one of them is to get progressive breeders such as yourself to think and comment. Proud of ya Frank.jlw
