I think there's a common misconception with new deer farmers or those looking to get into the 'business'. This being, that if you cross a super buck like Rolls Royce, to a super doe (let's say one out of Maxbo Hardcore), that any buck out of that combo will be what you expect it to be. Expectations being a buck just as big or bigger than both of those deer. Both the sire and dam have SUPERIOR bloodlines 3-5+. generations back. However, the fawns don't always produce and throw the BEST part of those gene pools. I think alot of people jump in this business because they think it's that easy to produce those caliber of a deal. You'd think as a hunter, we'd all know and expect, "Just because you aim at a target, doesn't mean you'll hit it."
But from your experience, what would you say your odds have been in getting a buck of your expectations with a specific crossing? 1 in 3? 1 in 5? 1 in 10? Of course this is never exact, just an average.
