my advice would depend on what hams you wanted to breed and wher you got them from. If they were from a show breeder and you were continuing good lines then sure. If they were pet shop hams then i'd say no, cos there are enough of those around anyway.

Personally i think the only reason to breed is to continue good lines of colour/type/temprament/heath etc. The thing with showing, to me, is that the scores from judges are a way of knowing what hams to breed, to continue the best lines. If you got one hams that scored 60 and one that scored 70, you know which one to breed. It's not about winning. Aside from that i think there are too many hams being bred than there are homes for in the country.

although having said that, Oscar got 66 but i'll still breed him cos a)he got 72.5 last time b)he's from good lines and carries good genes. He got so low cos he's so brown.
