This message is from: "duane" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi,
Is this great? If the stud passes on his low libido onto his offspring how is this different then passing on confirmation traits that aren't so disireable also? I'd be interested to give it a shot though and see the results and I'd hate to have it be my stud who's the shy one after all that is invested in him! Maybe we should just invest in a magazine of "hot to trot" mares and let the stud look at it for a while before breeding! Ha Ha. Just a thought! Have a great weekend!
