So was reading thru what's in your semen tank thread below and was thinking about how there is so many different ai bulls available and how it seems like there is quite a lot of jumping around to different bulls from year to year. (I am guilty of this right now to but just getting started with ai'ing) I have been talking to a guy that believes in line breeding to get consistency in the offspring for some years.
So my question is when jumping around from year to year to totally different bloodlines what does that do to consistency of calves and for that matter replacement heifers? Since the bull is half the equation do they stay fairly consistent?
I know of how many breeders that do quite a bit of line breeding and it seems like they are very successful.
I am trying to learn so that's why I ask!
