Bred to Perfection

Ep236 - Great Breeders Maintain a Zero-Defect Policy


Listen Later

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!
