If you are talking top 5 genetics that you can actually find for a very reasonable price then here goes

540 D. Dill - 1290 Poirier x 500 Northrup
516 D. Dill- 1290 Poirier x 730 Dill
923 Gerhardt-434 Gerhardt x 603 Muller
710 Harnica- 670 Daigle x 772 Poirier
856 Harnica- 772 Poirier x 670 Daigle

of course there are more but for these genetics at these prices, forget about it!
