Default RE: PA hunting

livbucks made a comment about it.
Livbucks comment was about timely breeding ,not early breeding.
Where does it break down the perentage that were bred?I see where it breaks down the number of embyoes/doe.It's never been a secret that older does produce more fawns or that those fawns have a higher rate of survival

It doesn't break down the percentage that were bred, but it is fact that 1.5 doe have both lower breeding rates and productivity than older doe. Also, lower breeding for 1.5 doe would result in a lower average embryos/doe for the doe that were checked.
It also clearly states that 2A the fawns in 2A had one of the worst reproductive rates in the stat


But, the PGC still rated 2A as being at its target goal for herd health, because fawn breeding rates are not give n a lot of weight in determining herd health. In 3B only 3% of the fawns were bred and it was still rated at the target goal.
