[QUOTE="rocket2222, post: 627806, member: 5362"] Exactly. He knows they are not performing as well as other calves in the herd, but there is no way of knowing why. Could be he's slightly over emphasizing the maternal traits, or birthweights and losing some early growth as a result, it may have little to do with inbreeding depression, it may be a combination of things, either way putting them in own contemporary group gives some of them a advantage that doesn't really exist, when compared to his other calves. I would rather have all the calves ratio together as one group, see that there is [ for what ever reason ] a problem with early growth, and react accordingly by adding more growth in the program. On the other hand, it's not my program, and I'm no expert on linebreeding, so maybe I should keep my hooter out of it. :lol: [/QUOTE]
