I think it is too easy to always assume that the genes are on the same locus. What about the possibilty that the blizzard or some of these other animals are lethal genetic combinations that die early and don't develop. Jeremy produced the red devil and I saw animals that looked very similar that Frank Martin produced that only lasted about a day. What if these are the few with these genetic combinations that actually make it to term. This definitely happens in humans where some lethal mutations are almost always die early in gestation but do rarely make it to term. I think this is something to consider for a reason why some of these animals are not produced.



Regarding the blizzard Jeremy stated in the past that both he and Pete produced still born blizzards and that he had one in his freezer. I think that has to be part of the blizzard discussion. How do you think those blizzards where produced if they share the same locus?
