[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 379623, member: 4353"] Yes, that one is relatively simple to explain. Prior to 1966 the drive was for smaller, earlier maturing, pony type cattle. Then after the whole dwarfism debacle the eyes opened and the breeders looked for outside genetics that wasn't reduced to dinky toy size. The drive for larger frames continued this trend till the late 80's untill the eyes opened again and they realized they went too far in the other direction. Some of the older pure lines (that was traditionally linebred, like the Prospectors, who were in the frame 4.5 region) was introduced back. The most famous bull resulting out of such a mating is Feltons 517. The drive for moderation and the heavy use of bulls like 517 resulted in an increase in inbreeding since 1990. [/QUOTE]
