I could not care less how many selects Ed puts up. I love all of them and as the judge of the day, it is his right. So, why are you jumping my s....? I just made the observation that a few years ago there were people who were up in arms about the number of selects, and it is not so today...no more, no less. I wasn't criticizing at all. I just made the point as you did, and so many others, that the quality should dictate the number of Selects, not some number. We agree. I remember in college a professor who said there would be four As and four Fs, and the rest would be between them. I said to him, "What if there were ten people who deserved an A? He said, six would have to get a B. If there are 100 Select quality animals, so be it.
