I appreciate you taking the time to answer my question!

Now I realize that my next question is highly debatable and I am not trying to stir the pot here but get an idea with curent testing in place, if you knew how many times backbreeding needs to be done before an animal goes back to its parent form? I know there will always be a percentage but I am talking about the current testing we have avaliable.

I remember something about livestock and breeding back to what is accepted as a pure form (maybe cows or chickens?)not sure if I remember correctly but I am hoping to get a number of times (2X?,3X?,4X?) considered by farming standards to make a possible comparison?

Good stuff. Much appreciated Brian!
