In 1990, 8 of the surviving HFW sires were backcross mated to their daughters (born in 1987 and 1988). There was no evidence for any of these sires being heterozygous, or for any of the sires involved in the backcross being homozygous, for a major gene which affects either fleece weight or liveweight.},
