[QUOTE="andybob, post: 141016, member: 2703"] Is it your intention to develop your herd into a closed breed, or to continue to bring in new bulls including F1 bulls where appropriate? What we reffered to as linebreeding was the use of bulls with a common ancestry to the cows [same bloodline] to fix desireable characteristics. To select the desireable characteristics in a closed herd would require a long term programme at the loss of heterosis and careful planning to prevent the negative effects of inbreeding. [/QUOTE]
