Re: Productive Life
That was a very nice article. Since then RORA Elevation EX(96) has been an even better example of hybrid vigor within a breed, paricularly since his sire was so inbred.
Similar to producing hybrid seed corn.You combine two very intensely inbred single crosses, that by that time, are small nubins and produce a marvelous hybrid cross.
Elevations sire ,Tidy Burke Elevation was never scored and weighed about 700 lbs at maturity and hobbled around on 3 legs. He would have scored about 53 accoding to a classifier that was about to score him, but was told(by his boss) to just leave him alone.
