[QUOTE="Nkline, post: 1725905, member: 41001"] “The same can be said within a breed. In the US, angus is the big breed with lots of choices on bulls. You can look at the genetics and select a mating that goes a ways back in the gene pool without common ancestors.” If you know angus pedigrees well enough you can identify some major bottleneck events. AI has greatly reduced the diversity in the angus breed. It is possible to not make purebred angus cattle overly inbred, but you may have to look outside of the semen catalogs. [/QUOTE]
