[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1675867, member: 14585"] As SBMF pointed out, a non related cow of a different breed would eliminate next generation abnormalities (but all offspring would be carriers) Without testing to know for sure, a non related cow of the same breed may well be a carrier of the same defect without exhibiting the trait herself. The most insidious abnormalities of inbreeding are fertility related, in example daughter looks normal, but has low functioning ovaries. There is a correlation between Sire testicle size and Daughter ovary size and fertility. [/QUOTE]
