[QUOTE="Nite Hawk, post: 1386296, member: 18682"] Some animals tend to be "Dominate" in what kind of offspring is thrown, either in good or weak traits, often over shadowing the other animal in the mating. That is what some people are hoping for when they line or inbreed, that they will get a good animal that will overshadow the genetics of a poorer animal in a breeding situation. doesn't always work though, Some matings "nick" well and others don't. I know of one fellow who bred his top milk cow with his best bull, and the result was a disaster with resulting cow giving 1 gallon a day... [/QUOTE]
