Genetics of Breeding
We have always had a deep interest in genetics – most of our graduate level work was done on conservation genetics (studying gene flow). When we decided to leave academia, we took all of those lessons and started applying them to breeding livestock. Here is the rationale we use to develop our breeding strategy.
The Absolute Basics - You only need to read this if you don't understand basic genetics
Heritability - An explanation of how physical appearance relates to genotype for major traits in dairy goats.
Breeding Strategies - How to use the three major strategies for different conditions.
Culling - Choosing the best goats for your breeding program.
