[QUOTE="Cdcollett, post: 1507195, member: 30837"] I had a lot of predestined in my herd. Loved the cows & even looked for more of that influence right when DD came out. I had countless opportunities for a DD calf but never had one. I’m not saying it doesn’t exist but linebreeding didn’t show me anything there but it did cost me because I either had to pay for testing or just use those cows for commercial cattle. I’m ok with outcrossing because I really don’t want to do that again. Am I likely to have recessive mutated genes in my herd due to that? May be. My whole herd won’t need tested for a defect when they do find one on a farm in Australia though. 036 was deemed defect free due to sire daughter makings. Something was still wrong so I don’t do it. Now if another breeder line breeds and gets lucky enough to create a line with all the economic and functional traits I’m after, I’d not hesitate to use that bull as an outcross. [/QUOTE]
