We first must get bet beyond using the term BG as like not distinguishing a LMB from a SMB and a SB.

I have been working with wild stocks from all over. Northern BG are pretty consistent no matter where you get them from. Coppernose BG really mess things up and I am still trying to figure out Han-paint BG. The some of the Coppernose BG stocks are very different from each other as well making so generalizing not so easy. I have messed with what I think were Southwestern BG which are very similar to Northern BG but not enough to say much with confidence. Give me time to work up pictures which may take more than a year.

The BG clan is almost as much fun as the LES clan.
