[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1822715, member: 40587"] True. That is why inbreeding and line breeding in horses have occurred. It can increase the chance of the offspring having the good traits you desire. I have a friend that bought a herd of Longhorns in the late 90's. He did the horseback concessions at a 5 star resort close by. This resort offered authentic trail drive experiences. 2 or 3 neighbor farms were between his and the resort, and he'd take these guests on an all day trail drive, from the resort back to his place. The man never sold one, or bought any new ones, never cut a bull calf, just let them raise , fathers bred to daughters and granddaughters, cows bred to sons and grandsons. When one would die, he'd sell the skull and hide to a Longhorn franchise. Used to. Now, there isn't a one out there that stand taller than my beltline, and they just about all have terrible underbites, and terrible feet. And knock-kneed and splay-footed. They look like a caricature in a cartoon. Hell, he could probably put these "mini-longhorns" on Craig's list and sell them for $5k each!!!. Inbreeding is the number one tool for developing these mini cattle, goats, horses, and donkeys. [/QUOTE]
