[QUOTE="TexasJerseyMilker, post: 1807640, member: 42782"] I don't know about inbred linebred cattle since I just breed my Jerseys to whatever available Angus bulls on the ranch and I sell the calves for whatever I can get. My husbands father bred up a pedigree herd of Charlaise from breeding back to pedigree bulls for several generations. My husband bred up a pedigree herd of Beefmasters by the same method. No genetic defects that I ever heard of. The steaks got to be too big for the packers so he bred them the cows down smaller. Inbreeding is not popular with mother nature for some reason. For example, I am new to honeybee keeping. Did you know that bee queens will not mate with their own sons? When bees colonies swarm, which is how bees reproduce, the bred queen leaves with half the workers and most the drones but she is already bred. Some queen eggs are left behind. New virgen queens fly out and mate with the whatever local rifraf, returns to the hive, lays eggs and produces vigorous outcross workers. [/QUOTE]
