i am completely against line-breeding
inbreeding will select any tiny problematic trait in your genetics and increase it in the next generation. It is the opposite of heterosis, or "negative" heterosis.
Buy the semen, it's inexpensive and in the long run less risky in my opinion.
There is potential for both good and bad. Sometimes it works great and other times it works terribly. Some bulls you might not want to do any line-breeding. For example in the club calf bulls there is a bull called Who Made Who. He has been one of the most successful bulls of all time in club calf breeding. But if he is not used on very sound cows he has a tendency to be make some cripples. So most people would never Line Breed with him. To much potential for things going wrong.
But on the other hand say a bull that has no apparent weaknesses and is a really sound, strong bull. Line-breeding will have a strong chance of magnifying his good attributes and working good for you. Just one of those tools that need to be used wisely, and if so can show some nice success.
Now this is funny advice on line-breeding and you didn't know what a schedule F was on another thread.
Capt Call........Don't hate the player hate the game! If I said something that was wrong, then please use your vast intellect to point out exactly what detail I was in error??????? I would love to know what statement I made there that was wrong?
Also just because someone says I do not know what a schedule F is does not mean they are correct. That same person seems to think I only have 2 show heifers, and no other cattle, I could choose to correct them (even though I have posted more pictures than two if they paid attention).
You guys that
do not believe in securing our Mexican borders and only allowing legal immigrants in America sure hold grudges huh?
So I say to you Capt Call put up or shut up!!! Please show me the error of my statement about line-breeding??????????? Or are you smart enough to even know what it is?
