Great idea, Jeff...thanks!!Yes that's the plan Scott maybe, we'll see how it turns out, its an experiment. I do a lot of those LOL Hey, at least you can always eat the mess-up/mistakes not too many other experiments have that option.
Cindy I plan on feeding a mostly grain ration this week actually just get them off the grower ration for a spell before butchering, they are still in the grow out pen and its getting too little. Hey you may check with desertmarcy in Tuscon as she may have an extra German male with a good open tail for you to cross your girls onto. Her stock is from matt1616 (also from Akers too) so you'd still have the same familial group to work with, so to say. Just thought that may help you out a bit, this way you could use your good typey girls instead going thru another generation to get to the next step.
Jeff
good day all
