Only a tenfold increase in 6 weeks? That’s to be downplayed? 15% of the largest production run ever is a large percentage? Based on what?
You are saying the production numbers are small and then arguing 15% is a big percentage to set aside? If the production numbers were so small wouldn’t they be needing to set aside far more than 15% for breeding?
Logic, reason and common sense will struggle in this type of environment.
