[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 781885, member: 1683"] regenwether- I agree with both posts, by KNERSIE - AND cattleman99. Both Holden's and Lent's Genetics are excellent for the selections that they have chosen and linebred to achieve the results they have today. But genes and alleles and chromosomes are NOT necessarily identical in characteristics. Linebreeding, by predetermination, has focused on [i][b]specific [/b][/i]genetic factors that may not be in compliance with the same traits and characteristics one seeks using BOTH excellent individuals from two different lines within the same breed. Ford, General Motors and Chrysler make excellent vehicles, but they differ in enough incidentals that what may be one person's meat is another person's poison! Managing 'mulitiple traits' in breeding livestock is a tricky game, and much thought and planning is required to obtain the results one wishes to achieve. But focusing on "Single Trait Selection" protocols is NOT the way to anchor-in the characteristics for which you are seeking. There simply is NO easy answer to good genetic management. But you have to try! DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
