[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 267385, member: 4353"] Aero, have you got any experience of inbreeding depression? I'm not questioning your statement, just curious about how big an effect it has in practice? What would you typically expect? Just a drop in growth rate, or a drop in total performance? I've read somewhere that it will reduce the mature size of the animals in question, but I can't remember if I've ever read to which extent. If that is such a problem how did jim Lents manage to maintain the sizeand performance in his herd. I belief his cattle has been linebred for 120 or so years? Its a bit off the subject, but do any of you receive the Lamplighter? I've not received one in ages [/QUOTE]
