    Re: The market for new codoms....Up or Down? What your thoughts...

    By the time you get visuals from this method, prices will indeed have dropped.
    Yes co-doms will fall quicker, but you have a better chance of a return, much quicker.

    Pieds have dropped alot in the last few years, and now seem to have stabilised for a while.
    The difference is that hets are still price higher than normals..So depending on the recessive you might be better making hets if you can sell them..

    Take a clown for example (Now I'm not sure the current prices on het clown price so I'm going to guess.) if you bred a clown male to 4 normal females every baby's is a het with males being 200.00 (again guessing) and females are 500.00 plus or minus..So your odds aren't will I produce a higher priced animal its which sex will it be..

    So all you'd have to do is produce and sell 4 female het and everything after that is profit..assuming you don't count feeders, and other stuff.
