Hello list In my animal husbandry classes, "a few years ago", it seemed that there was always a lot of emphasis on whether the male gender possessed "Paternal" or "Maternal" traits. In the horse world, that being that the makeup of the foal was more likely to be influenced by the mare or the stallion. It seems there is very little mentioned about that in the breeding industry now days. I would like to see some discussion on this "theory" or "fact". On another subject that was discussed at length on the list. Regarding "getting rid of moles". I trap them using a trap called the "black box" and made by the Victor company. I trapped 68 last year. I even had to trap for the neighbors because I "ran out on moles". I was just reminded of the subject when I saw a news report on TV that a professional mole trapper in Washington State was arrested for trapping moles. Seems that it is illegal in the state of Washington to use a leg hold or body squeeze type trap to catch fur bearing animals??? OH MY. Bet it takes a lot of moleskins to make a coat!!! Our Son and Daughter-in-law just informed me that they plan to sell their 2 yr. old filly, a 3 yr. old filly and a 4 yr. old gelding. From good stock, Registered and ready for training. They are too busy to do justice to the training of these nice young Fjords and will probably make some one a good deal on all three. Located in beautiful but getting overcrowded (north Idaho).
