Hey LaRon, this particular thread is relating to what people in
general, think are the kind of percentages that might be
expected from the breeding pairs of experienced and successful
competitors. Not so much about why we raise rollers at all
and/or doing your own thing...conflating not allowed. ;)
The results of polling and the comments ought to be informative
for those looking to compete and provide a valuable insight in
which to compare their own stock birds in the future. :-*

As long as you double up in quality when mating, you would not
have to worry about percentages. Doubling up means that the cock
and hen have the same strengths in quality, depth and work rate.
Remember that the apple don’t fall too far from the tree. When
I breed for the season and let’s say I bred close to 100 birds,
all I need by the end of season is 2 good qualities and of
competition caliber kits (40 birds). The remaining are done for,
whether they are roll down, flippers, culls or eaten by BOP has
no bearing at my end results. When I compete and open the kit
box, that is what is being judged and viewed by all
participants, not what I culled or lost.
