[QUOTE="CreekAngus, post: 1564376, member: 38224"] Finally some fresh air. A basic understanding of genotype, will give someone an understanding that when you bred A to B doesn't always equal = A+. You could end up with A-, B-, B+ or AB. Breeding a 7 frame to a 5 frame, doesn't result in a 6, could end up with another 7 or 5, most likely something in between, but rarely the 6 you think you were going to get.. This is why I don't breed by the numbers. Numbers assume if I breed a 80 ww to a 40 ww it will equal 60 ww. It doesn't work that way the progeny will reflect the most dominant genes. It doesn't matter if your a commercial guy or registered gal, you are looking for good animals that stamp their progeny with their dominant genes, hence why line breeding works so well...anyone who disagrees that line breeding doesn't work, please take the EXT influence out of your herd, probably won't have any cattle left, but please disagree with line breeding.
