No disrespect to ANY one and I really mean this but 10 years c'mon. I for one will not invest in desert's til we definitively know whats going on. I have nothing but respect for many of the breeders involved with this project, I know we will get some more info very soon.
As a matter of fact even if they (the females) don't produce I'd still buy a desert male for the market corrected price. So in my humble opinion there will always be a market for males just not where they are now.
