[QUOTE="1848, post: 69901, member: 1303"] One more note. Remember Frank Felton basically had a closed herd with the exception of his bulls which he marketed very well. The Feltons line is sometimes best used like an outcross due to this fact, and is much of the reason his bulls did so well. None of his females were being released and this prevented the simular matings that Frank was capable of producing, but it did make his stacked genetics excell when placed in other programs with different genetic bases. So do you want to flood you bloodlines with 517 on both sides (ie World Class x 517) for the sake of high accuracy, or do you want excellerated growth through the heterosis of using 517 as an outcross.
