So any particular topics scheduled this time?

[brewmaster15]

So any particular topics scheduled this time?

I was planning on a discussion on breeding and genetics as the main area we can work on

We also have a secondary area of discussion that involves Our Summer Meetings Plans...that meeting will most likely take some serious work as we are planning to scale things up a bit.... I'm being intentionally vague here as Mark and I need to flesh out our bare bones ideas alot between now and the Spring meeting.

Hope you can make it down here!
