[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 834770, member: 14661"] I would say it depends on why you want to do it. If you want a specific phenotype, then linebreeding is one way to accomplish that goal fairly rapidly. Any flaws in the bloodline will be amplified. If production is what you have in mind, think outcross... I don't have a referance for beef cattle but I was told by a source that I consider to be highly reliable that when a dairy herd makes matings that are specifically outcross matings without any regard to production among the bulls, they can expect to see a one dollar per head per month increase in production from the milking daughters... What that means is that sometimes we can outproduce the high-flying genetics with lesser quality cattle simply by keeping an open pedigree. :D [/QUOTE]
