[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1476403, member: 9096"] But in nature bulls don't travel across the continent.. So what you have is many groups of similar individuals (linebred) but variation between groups (the diversity).. If one group gets weak, outside genetics will come in naturally. While long term is to be seen, I'm really happy with the calves of my own bull right now... I don't plan on completely closing the herd, but have been finding that it's harder and harder to find a bull that doesn't bring me backward somewhere... Oh, and I think it's good to know the history, phenotype, etc off the 5 previous generations, in the actual production environment.. [/QUOTE]
