Ep229 - Understanding the Connection Between Selection and Culling

Many know that selection is important, but few know how
to select. Many know culling is important, but few cull
hard enough. The truth is, the future of your strain is dependent
on your ability to select the proper brood fowl, and your
willingness to cull all substandard, defective and sick birds.
However, You can’t select if you don’t know the breed. In this
episode we are going to show why Selection and Culling work hand
in hand. And, how you can’t do one without the other. Join us as
we discuss this controversial topic. This is a show you do not
want to miss!


Make sure to follow and watch our future
shows. We plan to dive deep into the world of
breeding and genetics, nutrition and health management, and
provide essential tips, so you too can create high quality
strains.  Whether you're breeding domestic chickens,
gamefowl, or various types of livestock, this show is for
you. 


Join us on Bred to Perfection Live, Friday’s at 6pm
PST or 9pm EST on YouTube, as we
discuss the benefits of creating your own strain.
