[R] for loop

[Michael Dewey]

Dear Maryam

Please keep the list cc'ed in as others will have better answers than me.

If dam has 700 members then sample (dam) gives you a random permutation 
of dams, each once.

I did not understand the second part as i do not think you can have 30 
sires each occurring 20 times. Did you mean 35 sires? You can follow the 
same procedure as I suggested to do that.

I think you perhaps need to re-read some introductory material as you 
are struggling over some fairly basic concepts here.

Michael.
