[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 627790, member: 7645"] How would you know that? All you can really know is the actual performance. Whether that performance is due to selection or to inbreeding depression we have no way of knowing. You could only guess, though undoubtedly both are at play AND there is also the possibility that the line you are inbreeding just lacks the genes for your desired performance in the first place. For an extreme example, you could linebreed Jerseys for a lifetime for growth and performance and NEVER achieve average Charolais production for those traits. Dittoe with linebreeding Chars for Jersey level commercial milk production. [/QUOTE]
