[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 380237, member: 4353"] Herefordsire, the % inbreeding is calculated from parentage records or pedigrees not bloodtests. I am sure that at some stages "outside genetics" was used. The jump from frame 1 to frame 10 was just to sudden to be believeable in my opinion. But if that information wasn't disclosed it will not affect the % inbreeding theoretically. Traditionally herefords were in the frame 4-5 range, then reduced to miniature size, how they managed to even reach a frame 10 is beyond me. I'm not sure single trait selection alone can achieve that. I know this is a touchy subject, would love to hear more opinions from other hereford breeders. [/QUOTE]
