[QUOTE="Commercialfarmer, post: 1325198, member: 14544"] I'll have to disagree a little. Consistency is what linebreeding provides and I like consistency. But a fullblood linebred breed Y, crossed with a fullblood linebred breed X, will not on average provide any more heterosis than a fullblood non linebred Y crossed with a fullblood nonlinebred X. Jake, I'm not about to tell someone how their operation should work. I'm talking facts, how they figure into your use is a different story. But when accounting is done, the average producer needs to not only consider the lbs per calf that may not be realized, but also the % breed back and how quickly that occurs. A one or two cycle delay costs money as well. [/QUOTE]
