Cohoangler brings up a good point. But, Snider is not a typical hatchery. Before we criticize the use of one buck fertilizing more than one hen, I think it's important that we find out if this one buck is a Snider returnee or a tethered wild buck. I can see spawning Snider returnees on a one-to-one ratio as a long-term policy. But if it's a stud-muffin 18-20 lb wild buck, why not spread these super genes to more than one hen. Isn't this what happens in the wild anyway?
