yes ray if you don't have enough your dammed and if you have too many your dammed ?, its not a nice thing to cull down to numbers but if you have no choice it has to be done . |

| Yes it has to be but I hate it as we have yearlings that won or done well as ybs but not so good as yearlings .I know some will say they will come on as 2 year old but we have the room to wait that long..if they do nothing as yearlings they have to go mores the pity |
