Title: Wheaten x Buff cross
Post by: Blue Egg Acres on April 18, 2007, 05:27:54 PM

Someone has asked me about crossing wheaten and/or blue wheaten with buff to create/improve a buff line. I have no knowledge or experience with this and hope some of you can expound on the pros/cons of doing this. Thanks!

I pretty much said all I have to say on this subject in an article in the latest ABC Handbook.   I believe that would be the best possible cross to improve/invigorate a  line of buffs, but it\'s still a multi-multi year project.
