[QUOTE="Julian, post: 815969, member: 4877"] Here is a recent snapshot I took of Steadfast Bailor X06. The calf is 5 months and 10 days old in the picture. He is the product of mating Steadfast Boaz T71 back to his dam. This is the second time we have done this and both times it has produced admirable calves. These cattle are deliberately bred close as a part of our Steadfast B571 Strain development program to produce our "line" of parentstock. We use the KinTraks software to calculate Inbreeding Coefficients (IBC's). The IBC for Steadfast Bailor X06 is 43.69%, but we are adding more ancestory into our database calculations. Currently the IBC for Steadfast Boaz T71 is 17.02%. Our goal is not to maximize IBC's, but to increase genetic contributions in future generations of cattle we find fitting our genetic goals the best. By doing so we hope to closer replicate these type of animals. Much like the hybrid seed companies that breed comercial hybrid seed from parentlines they have developed, this is an example of the parentline we are developing.
