[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 436543, member: 3162"] ArmyDoc, I may be totally off base here. The term linebreeding to me signifies someone is producing a "line" of cattle, and I have always associated it with breeding a bull back to his offspring. Same with horses and dogs. That is how it was explained to me in my youth. That is how folks with degrees in Ag (animal husbandry, vets etc) has explained it to me. I don't have a degree in Ag. In-breeding is something different which doesn't necessarily involve a sire back to his off-spring. Again, I may be totally off-base, but ranchers have been breeding bulls back into their off-spring for hundreds of years. Most folks breeding range cattle change bulls after the second generation. Your breeding reasoning needs to be understood before anyone can truly advise you. What are you trying to achieve specifically? Decide that, then weigh the risks, and determine if your willing to gamble. Then you can find all kinds of information that is credible. [/QUOTE]
