Ewest,

I understand you rationale and it makes sense. I was just thinking, right or wrong, that when living in a cold climate, you want fish, plants, etc. that have been raised with as much cold tolerance as possible or grown further north. When living in a hot climate like Texas, you want to source as far south as possible to have maximum heat tolerance.

Maybe it depends on species? Maybe I would want RES from north of me but WE from my area or maybe even south of me?
