[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1344073, member: 9096"] My cow must be from down south, she's had 3 calves, from 3 sires.. One was her father, the other was her brother... slut! Her calves all look good though. I'm experimenting a little with linebreeding with sons from an exceptional cow, I expect slightly less growth from the lack of hybrid vigor, but with more consistency. I'm just at the size where 1 bull is at his limit, but 2 bulls is somewhat overkill, So as insurance I have 2, one of my own, and one from outside, if any of them fail, I have a backup plan and still get calves. So far I'm happy with the calves I have from my own bull, he didn't breed the best cows last year so the calves are smaller, but they're built nicely, next year he'll have calves from a better group of cows, and perhaps there will be some replacement quality stock there, I'd be particularly interested in a linebred bull calf, perhaps from his full sister.
