The problem I see with listening to breeders who do this for an income is. The sooner you get babies on the market they more competition they have which drives down prices. Why would a breeder who knows that you can breed at 1200g say so and not tell you to wait till at least 1500g? Those 300g can make you wait a few extra months! (Not saying you can breed at 1200g, i am just using those weights as a reference. Also this is not targeted to Adams post, just an over sight of pages I have seen where breeders have recommended weights.)

Adam, thanks for sharing your experience with us. Do you think that genetics played a difference at all?
