Hi Alan R.
Congratulations and I wish more people would put the parentage of their best
ones on the screen for others to note.
Is this correct?----------- 614 Reynolds 98--607 Kuhn 97 x self
Now,I better do as I say:
780 Eaton 98--810 McInnis 96 x 853 Eaton 97
More growers are taking an interest in producing pedigrees and every piece
of info may be useful in the future.
Please confirm if 614 is correct. Thanks--Alan E.
