[QUOTE="MoGal, post: 787630, member: 1346"] Is the 300 lb heifer the one who has been line bred or are you saying her mother is the one that has been line bred? There are many threads on here about linebreeding if you search them. Many pros and cons on it. Did you look at the bull himself? Were you pleased with his looks because there will be a double concentration of it. If he's a super nice bull, then I think you'll be okay. We've crossed half sibling to half sibling and for the most part I've been satisfied with the result, but I've not bred daughters back to the sire. Sometimes first calving heifers take longer to breed back and I've always felt it was dependent on how much milk they give, whether they have sufficient forage and how much attention you give to your mineral program. However, you can sometimes have all three and still have an open one at preg check time. [/QUOTE]
