[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1847024, member: 6291"] The reason you will not see a lot of success in cattle with line bred animals is because most breeders will not stick to the fundamental items they chose to breed for. They will sell out some thing at some point. Ive seen line bred programs with dogs and they produce some awesome animals they are nearly impossible to get your hands on. To run a true line bred program you almost have to be ruthless in your culling like nature would be and more than most are willing to be. Some of that is for good cause because it doesn't always financially make sense but nature wasn't worried about that either. I have also bred bulls to their daughters on many occasions with no ill-effect and will continue to as I have said in other posts. If your genetics are questionable then it may not be a good idea and you could have bad results but then again, you may want to look at why. This is just like keeping replacement heifers or any thing else, though. You are only going to multiply what you already have, for the good or the bad. If you breed junk to junk you will get 2X the junk. If you breed nice to nice you will get 2X the nice. [/QUOTE]
