Additional Information
I have always had an interest in genetics. I started with breeding fancy mice for a couple of years, managing to breed some interesting colours and mice with long hair & rexs. After I finished working on the dairy I started breeding my own cattle. I had dexter and jersey cattle. Besides getting into the history and genetics I also did rather well with showing and placing well in the lead steer competition. I have also bred birds, getting into love bird genetics. Currently I have been learning about sheep breeding, doing research on the different breeds and the traits of each breed. I plan on furthering my skills by doing some courses in agrigulture.
