Well put Tom. seems like it should also go to say that the FEMALE of the
parents should be the most desirable of the parents, and the male
characteristics may show up in the offspring, but not before then.

Matthew,
The 974 Eaton as the male pollinator has nothing to do with the 1153
being
heavy. The genes of the 723 are the only genes that made the 1153
heavy,
along with several environmental factors. The 974 will come into play
in the
offspring of the 1153.
