[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 338226, member: 4353"] That would be linebreeding in my opinion, and provided that both the heifer and the bull doesn't show any faults and are superior specimens themselves, I would consider it as a wise breeding decision. When stacking a certain animal in a pedigree there are always the chance that a recessive deletirous gene might come to the fore, and if it does just cull the resulting calf. As its not an ongoing inbred program there should be no fertility issues or inbreeding depression. Should you get a very good bull calf from this mating and if Stockman is a line which you wish to continue it will be a good bullcalf to retain for future use. [/QUOTE]
