[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1417601, member: 14585"] Yes they certainly can be, hence "Rule of Thumb" and not written in stone. An example would be the Holstein breed average coefficient is approximately 6.25% = first cousins The great Holstein show sire Goldwyn really sires beautiful daughters and stamps his pattern on them. His sire James coefficient is 3.67% and his dam Baler Twine is 9.74% But because of the intense linebreeding of both Grand and Aerostar in his pedigree Goldwyn's inbreeding coefficient is 15.7% All pure breeds have to have the same ancestors in common at some point to make them a breed. The current angus genetic pool is more diverse than the holstein breed and many others. In angus 8 different great grandparents in most all cases will not be a common inbreeding coefficient problem IMO the direct correlation of inbreeding coefficient % and stillbirth % is the number #1 reason to outcross [/QUOTE]
