If you are really blessed the mentors and long time breeders come at the beginning of your journey into being a Steward. I am so grateful for my mentors...invaluable information comes my way and I soak it up like a sponge!Yup. and then along comes your mentor(s) and other long time breeders who teach you things you'll never, ever get from reading books. So much of the most important "stuff" is not science. It's an art form. And most of it is passed down through oral traditions only.
