[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 68132, member: 9"] Agree Dun! We avoid that problem by keeping close track (selective breeding) of which female our bulls are bred to. We maintain 3 levels of bulls: Up & coming future sire; New sire for this year; Mature sire. Sires we don't want to keep are sold for cross-breeding to commercial herd; sold to another Longhorn breeder; or, used for lease out for cross-breeding. This, along with adding new heifers and cows (from new purchases) to our breeding stock we can continually upgrade our herd, which allows us to still use our best bulls to avoid any close line-breeding.
