We played with the project for couple seasons and were successful in my opinion on being able to re-create some straight catchers.
The negative part of that was.........we couldn't raise them faster than we were losing them.
A high % were culled back to RCD vs Straight Catch because they wouldn't dedicate it all to catching and holding no matter what.
The ones that did make the cut, didn't last long enough for us to breed them a second time.... Very frustrating to say the least.
In the end we decided to just produce the cob rough yellers that would hold a bull by themselves but would catch and stretch a grizzly with a pair. They seem to stay alive longer ran in pairs.
Three of them yeller convicts....were just cruel and unusual punishment!
