    Inbreeding coefficient?

    I’m about a hour and a half north of Clear Springs Cattle Company and really like their cattle and am trying to pick what I AI to from stuff that is closer to my area and they definitely have a good selection in my own opinion

    Inbreeding coefficient?

    My thoughts on just one bull is I can select the offspring that works in my environment and still have em be all half sibs so down the road my bull selection is easier instead of having multiple sires every year…whatever doesn’t work for replacements get loaded on the trailer and hauled to the...

    Inbreeding coefficient?

    Just wondering what everyone’s opinion on how much line breeding is to much…I know the old saying if it works it’s line breeding and if it doesn’t it’s inbreeding but how do you figure out the coefficients? I have just 8 registered Simmental and they all have hooks shearforce in the pedigree 3-5...
