Breed for TYPE first, which includes not just the body shape for the Bresse, but also the growth rate and thickness of the muscling. Soundness and health are very important too. Selection for color is far down the list unless you have a DQ that is of concern. Depending on the DQ I wont cull because of that as my goals are meat production NOT show.I have several Bresse from GFF (also 65 from another breeder) and I'm not sure how to cull the group. I plan in keeping a roo or two and 10-20 hens. I was planning on selecting the largest rooster and hens. Making sure they don't have any obvious defects. What else?
