I think everyone has their own idea as to production line vs. show line. Curious how anyone else looks at it?
I grew up that production lines were selected for.
egg production
Feed efficiency
health
show lines were for:
looks only, & that changes w/breeders opinions.
Good news is physical characteristics are highly heritable whereas production characteristics aren't.
