[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1845789, member: 42463"] Aw c'mon... That sounds like excuses for bad management to me. I wasn't in the business to take chances. Good livestock producers use the tools they have to minimize risk. If someone is inbreeding because they don't have the money to replace a bull and get stuck with that situation in one breeding season it's one thing... but if they are just knowingly taking that kind of risk because they are too lazy or ignorant to avoid the risk it's another. If you read the posts here with the idea of learning... you can see a commonality to those with detrimental anomalies. We're either here to discuss and share information to help each other, or we're just here to sling bull**it and be emotionally supportive. I see inbreeding in the same way I see any other reason to cull. Again, I minimize risk as a matter of management. Y'all are of course free to see this differently, but I can tell you with authority that people had less detrimental genetic anomalies fifty years ago and today people are just making excuses for it and getting some pretty bad results.
