[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1426250, member: 14585"] I was just looking for data/link I believe it was from U of Mn on study of dairy cattle... but I haven't found it yet. From memory the 3 things that stuck out to me were... Inbreeding increased calf mortality, increased age at puberty through retarded growth and increased heifer cull rate prior to 1st calving. I'll continue to search for documentation... as for a reading recommendation google the Bullvine. The "Bullvine" has been a good source for dairymen and has published articles on managing inbreeding in dairy cattle. It seems dairy breeders have done a much better job collecting and analyzing data than beef breeders. [/QUOTE]
