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

I think of culling as getting rid of something that carries a trait or an
idiosychrozie (spelled) that is not desireable or an animal that is not
useful any longer. Removing daughters and sons from your breeding program
is healthy breeding and is necessary with all animals.Culling is a word
nobody wants to deal with. Even me. Those are the animals I wonder what
happens to. Cathy
