Thank you! It is definitely a work in progress and even with all the anticipation and research done prior to diving in we are still learning day by day. There is a lot to be said for certain lines and genetics. Some traits are line bred (yellowjacket for example) some dominant/recessive genes (axlanthic and tiger) and some local specific looks (pure western being the most desired yet hardest to come by). All of this goes into the decisions on pairings so that we can produce clean attractive animals that will be desirable and improve on what is considered "U.S. lines" rather than just breed for the sake of breeding.Originally Posted by BR8080
Nice stock to work with - still watching your BHP posts
With all that said or plan thus far is to pair our new female to our current male. Both are a mix of Lazik/Goergen lines and share similar color/contrast. If everything goes as planned we may actually be able to pair as early as this Dec. The goal with this line is to produce high yellow/high contrast animals.
Our first female however is a true gem. She is pure Lazik western blood which is very difficult to come by. Preserving this is going to be a priority for us. Fortunately due to the time it takes females to reach sexual maturity compared to males mean time is on our side so we will be very selective in finding her future mate.
Anyhow, I will try to get somenupdated pics as wether permits.
