[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1426338, member: 968"] Line breeding is taking excellent qualities that you want to perpetuate of KNOWN pedigrees. These (Wye) were registered cattle. If there are any "hidden" genetic defects, this is the quickest way (back then) to get them out in the open & try to eliminate them while you are trying to increase the qualities you are striving for. Just letting unknown pedigrees in-breed (and yes, this would be called in-breeding, not line breeding). The difference between the two is one is planned - the other "not so much". [/QUOTE]
