[QUOTE="novatech, post: 635977, member: 5494"] It depends on how good your bull is and how good the heifers are. You will be strengthening the genetics of the good and the bad to some degree. Not near as close as father to daughter or breeding half sibs but still there will be some influence. By your question you seem to think there may be some freakish outcome because of inbreeding. Most of that is old wives tales. I have done this many times over with mostly good results. You just have to make sure you cull the bad ones out. Just like you should with breeding to total out crosses. [/QUOTE]
