[QUOTE="cowgal, post: 62144, member: 925"] Surely there is more to it than "linebreeding"! What would the answer be if you didn't know they came from a closed herd? Is it weakness in the back? We have a young cow that looked fine until after she calved and didn't hump up immediately after, but a month or so later she did and has been since. She looks like she's ready to urinate (except her tail isn't up) all the time. She acts healthy otherwise--should she be given a magnet just in case? We once had a bull with a bit of a hump--is it just lousey conformation? I guess linebreeding would over-emphasize a genetic weakness--but how can it just be chalked up to "linebreeding"? I mean absolutely no insult, I just feel that surely there must be more to it--anyone? [/QUOTE]
