Great pics, Greg. Yes, pattern difference is quite apparent. Since you keep both, have you ever hatched out a clutch of Westerns and a clutch of Mexicans in the same season, and had a chance to observe their growth rate and potential when fed similarly?
Frank, your observation about patterns makes me want to do a locality Hog comparison (both Kennerlyi and nasicus), as I'm a fan of locality CalKings, Rosies, and Gophers.
