inbreeding

[Muddy]

If the cow was bred to her half brother and her calf grew great and sold the highest....why should i not linebreed them?

Because your animals are not enough "inbred" due to different bloodlines and breeds you used on your cattle. Huge genepool and not very tight consistency in your cattle. Next calf may will be dink again, or may be an average calf.

My question was for Ebenezer....since you have no idea how our business is run, you are not qualified in any way in making any statements or answering my question... Cow this year was bred to her brothers son which would make a nephew, had a nice calf again. It is different though, a heifer...lol

Typical Linda reply as usual.
