[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 307643, member: 1683"] Roger- Your conclusion that I "don't like this breed of cattle" is based on assumptions and not verifiable facts. I don't like or dislike "this breed of cattle" any more or less than many, many other breeds of cattle. I regret that you took offense at my comments relating to the pictures you posted. You are right - I did misunderstand which picture you were referriing to regarding the brother-sister mating, BUT the genetic realities at the core of the post are just as true whether the phenotype is demonstrable or not. Brother-sister matings are as "close" genetically as can be done, short of cloning. In all close-breeding, line-breeding or in-breeding matings all genetic traits are exemplified and intensified - both good and bad - and it requires very careful selection practices to avoid a disastrous [b]crash[/b] involving the future of a particular line of breeding. I had no desire to infringe upon your choice of breed of cattle in your operation, and I hope that your breeding practices continue to satisfy your wishes in your program. My concern when viewing the heifer in the two pictures was her leg set in whatever attitude she was expresssing. Those traits will manifest themselves in future generations, as has the so-called "wildness" characteristics which present themselves even today spinning down from Emulation 31 and his son N Bar Emulation EXT.
