I was somewhere a few years back , and was told the animal in the next pen was the highest recorded ram ever of a certain breed , structurally he was very poor with bad shaped feet and pasturns , and nothing very special to look at , and he was being used for AI to be sold and wouldnt ever have been shown . Now i can see how someone might want to get those growth / muscle figures into their own flock and breed the faults out , but temptation to sell semen on must be great to a breeder that wouldnt have seen the sheep in question . and will just propagate the issue down the line with someone else . may explain a few one ballers etc
