[QUOTE="mrvictordomino, post: 882637, member: 14333"] This thread has been interesting to me because of some of Dylan's questions about my program. It has got me thinking about future matings that would, or should increase prepotency and consistency within the herd. I truly believe working and concentrating with a closed line of cattle will and should over time produce some superior individuals. Unfortunately, "over time" probably means a lifetime of selection and breeding, too bad cattle breeding is such a slow process. With that being said, I looked at some herd sires of Holden Herefords and Coopers, who have stayed with one continuous blood line for many years to compare some IBC percentages. HH Advance 9075W IBC 24% HH Advance 9144W IBC 25% HH Advance 4055P IBC 24% CL 1 Domino 886U IBC 25% CL 1 Domino 7128T IBC 23% There are not many line-bred herds on the polled side of the breed. I did select a herd in FL that has some of the same bloodlines that I have and checked their IBC number on their herd sires: PW 709 Victor 962 IBC 12% PW X101 Victor 735 IBC 18% PW 360 Victor 633 IBC 9% and PW 254 Victor 773 12% My yearling bulls range from 18-23% and when I use the IBC tool, there can easily be matings that would have individuals exceed 30%. Too late this year to make some of these matings since the bulls are already turned out. Will have plenty of time to plan for next year. Any comments welcomed. DM [/QUOTE]
