Ep236 - Great Breeders Maintain a Zero-Defect Policy

Have you ever wondered if you have what it takes to be a true
breeder, or if you’re already on that path? The answer isn’t
always clear—it’s subjective, and it depends on who you ask. But
one thing is certain: there’s a significant difference between
being a true breeder and simply someone who breeds. Some breeders
practice ruthless culling, while others avoid it entirely. Many
also don’t know what to cull for, especially when it comes to
defects. They might not recognize a defect or they may not
consider it important—until it’s too late and the entire flock
shares the same flaw. Join us as we dive into this important
topic, so you can decide for yourself what being a true breeder
really means.


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.


See ya there!
