[QUOTE="novatech, post: 476460, member: 5494"] One important fact that some may overlook. Line breeding/inbreeding usually leads to less efficient (for lack of a better term) cattle. The reason for this is that it is the opposite of heterosis, breeding animals that are dissimilar genetically. Where as with line breeding they are usually pretty close together. Just another fact that will cause a lot more culls than keepers. [/QUOTE]
