Probably just stretching the truth a bit like Big Red, producing enough for Warwick and then trending down. Got to go, first for the smelling salts, then for a beer !!!!!!!!!!! UGH!
No if you listened it is the quality control at the facility that is an issue not the breeding which was what went so well.
Read up on silk and you will find most farms have a guy who is the one who has the experience in choosing coccoon quality. Apparently the pilot facility is lacking this.
