[QUOTE="Old_man_emu, post: 899869, member: 17893"] This might be a bit general, but, would I see the biggest benefit from half sib or uncle x neice mating being the female progeny if I get it right? I have a very good bull calf at the moment that has a lot of half sisters and and neices, and I think he will grow to be very similar to his sire, only better. So as I see it, when I select the best of his half sisters for him to be joined back to, I should be further fixing the desirable traits i.e growth, muscle, good udders and structural correctness? As I am also in the business of producing steers, do I stand to lose via " inbred breeding depression"? [/QUOTE]
