[QUOTE="Jessica06, post: 1042635, member: 5612"] Just because you are going to raise registered cattle doesn't mean that you HAVE to strategically linebreed, either. You linebreed to set traits. Make the genetic makeup more consistent. Look at phenotype more so than pedigrees when you are making breeding decisions. If the cattle have undesirable traits, you will most likely be "setting" those traits. If they are good cattle and what you want, it might not hurt to try! Sire x daughter is the usual cross. Watch out for decreased performance though..linebreeding also greatly decreases heterosis. [/QUOTE]
