[QUOTE="robert, post: 966866, member: 9171"] I wouldn't see any problem with it personally, depending upon the traits being concentrated by the sire/daughter mating you may or may not see inbreeding depression, for example if sire is a higher growth bull and that is one of the traits you have been selecting for then that should be something that is concentrated in the 3/4 sibs, and while it won't express fully in those sibs it should be obviously evident when you cross them with a different breed as you will have an advantage of concentrated growth genes + hybrid vigor.
