Maybe. "It's only worth as much as what the buyer is willing to pay."

What I was trying to get at is that from a buyer's perspective, one would be spending 3 years raising the triple het animal up, trying to prove it's het for A, failed. try again next year Het for B, failed. try again het for C, failed. It's simply too time consuming of a project to justify the extra dollar paid in the beginning.

IMHO, the $5000 animal wouldn't be any different from our "normal" example before. The odds are still too low to justify any increase in price, so in other words, the odds justifies the price increase for possible hets.

Remember, we're talking POSSIBLE hets. if these are 100%, it'd be an entirely different story!
