[QUOTE="M-J-G, post: 4678002, member: 1819"] Yes I'd say that's about right, the growthy ones will still grow but will be lean and hard in the poorer conditions, as long as they arent so good at growing that it kills or severely stalls them. Some of the hill breeds have struggled with EBVs because the recorded flocks are on better land and when the "best" sheep are on hard hills they aren't the best, as they cannot fuel their potential in a harsh environment. Some have been totally disappointed with BLUP as they were told that the figures removes the effect of environment, but some cases it hasn't. It comes down to a lack of understanding on the farmers part, and a lack of ability to question the system, but sometimes it has to be understood fully in order to spot these flaws and avoid being sent on the wrong path.
