[QUOTE="Idaman, post: 752370, member: 14119"] Knersie - We do still line breed to some extent but not as much as we should. The line breeding is usually on the cow side for us. We buy a herd bull or use some semen and the get a son out of our cows and then we breed him to his half sisters as well as his full sisters and his mother. When we get too many of his daughters in the herd then we start the whole process over. We have a lot of old Canadian semen so we can go to that at any time. We will not use stud semen or anything that is in the vogue at the moment. We are not opportunity breeders. Our next project is to locate bulls that are bred like our older cows and go back some in time to repeat the process. We had good luck with some Quantock bulls back a bull or two in our pedigrees but they don't have any of that old breeding in their pedigrees so that may mean we should leave them alone. [/QUOTE]
