[QUOTE="Jake B, post: 1661617, member: 14545"] The results are mixed. Although I had a bull that was line bred by mistake and he turned out great. I used him for 10 years and his bulls sold like crazy. All his calves were incredibly constant no matter what cow he was bred to. His heifers have also turned out to be great cows. All that being said, I would line bred very carefully. Maybe try a small sample size like you are doing. From what I understand with line breeding is that it will compound traits which explains why all my calves out of my line bred bull were extremely consistent. The problem is it will or could compound the traits you don’t want which could be a disaster. [/QUOTE]
