[QUOTE="Aero, post: 246553, member: 2076"] this is strictly determined by the bull. if he doesnt have the best breeding and has some ugly stuff hidden in the recessives, you will not be able to use him very long and the first cross on his daughters could yield some very ugly stuff. if you got lucky and he doesnt have too much bad stuff hidden, you could use him for generations. the reason people are scared of linebreeding is because many animals arent very homozygous. with heterozygous animals, there is twice the likelihood of a recessive showing up down the road. if a bull is the product of a real linebreeding program, you will more than likely be able to use the bull for a good while. as in anything, somewhere in the middle is probably going to work out better for everyone.
