[QUOTE="Simply Bovine, post: 64421, member: 1141"] Are you asking me about it or do you need to know for yourself? I would say, because I'm not an expert, that I might use a bull--skip a generation or two and then use him again, but that would be it. I am thinking that a particular bull might have very good traits, but new good traits are needed too. Look at indangered animals that almost go extinct. People try to help the animal along and breed them in captivity. But, when that happens there are so few of the animal that the gene pool is very small. I think I heard that these animals tend to have a lot of problems because of that. I would think this would be true for cattle as well. Just a thought. But, I am still learning so please correct me if I am wrong. [/QUOTE]
