[Alpacasite] Re: Breeding Maidens (again)"culling"

Surely with all our collective brains we can come up with a marketing word to replace "culling" when used to describe an alpaca that we no longer desire in our breeding program for whatever reason, but can be useful in another program. For example, I just sold a female that I personally didn't want to part with, but we have 2 daughters and 3 granddaughters from her in our small herd and a reality-check said we needed to allow someone else to reap the results of her fine production. Right now I call these "sales" alpacas. If I were a major US corporation, I might call it "out sourcing for genetic diversity" or some other coined phrase. When I think of "cull", I translate it "shouldn't be of any use to anybody".
