[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 899902, member: 7509"] I find this page on line breeding very interesting and have posted a link here before: [url]http://www.witherspoonsherefords.com/WNHWEB11.HTM[/url] Particularly the section at the bottom of the page: "To achieve the best results of this form of line breeding, one should select only the very best son or sons of the bull to be used on only the very best daughters of the bull. This produces half brother/half sister matings. The resulting pedigree has two lines tracing to the choosen bull who is the grandsire on both sides of the pedigree. Then one can extend the line breeding by selecting the best linebred sons to be bred to the best linebred daughters, producing a pedigree that makes the original bull the grandsire on all four lines of the pedigree" There is then a chart illustrating the concept. Jim About AI: seems like it still requires a cleanup bull and to do it right seems to be more than I want to get into. [/QUOTE]
