Tony, I think a keeper that catches their own stock has a lot more in it than just money, and with specific data, that makes the animal worth more, in my book. I also believe such persons would try to care for their animals better than generic animals. I can only speak for myself in saying the time spent accruing, acclimating, and other aspects of caring for w.c. stock makes it almost inevitable that one would spend more time, money, etc. than on normal generic animals. For me, I'd prefer locality specific animals, whether they look exactly like others 200 miles away, that's just how I roll. I like the snapshot of it, these animals came from exactly HERE, this is what they look like from HERE.

and another locality factor, most Langtry alterna look like this, but there are a few other looks that are less common but blended in with the whole population. That's where it really gets hairy, lol. Not all localities have "a" look, but can contain a few.
