[QUOTE="Herefords.US, post: 574445, member: 3972"] Like you, HS, I can manage to wander out to "left field" a bit and occasionally get lost. And I'm still not certain I'm making myself understood here. The post that brought on my diversion into minutia was this one by knabe: Knabe is correct. Those numbers are based on probability and are most likely not 100% accurate. Aero is also correct. The law of averages would tend to make the overall number of genes inherited from each ancestor closely equal to those commonly used percentages like I used in the post to which knabe responded. But, through selection, I still believe the influence(gene percentage) provided by an ancestor, repeated in a linebred pedigree multiple times, can be intensified(or diminished) to where their genetic contribution, [b]in those traits selected for[/b], would fall outside of what would be expected. Clear as mud, huh? George [/QUOTE]
