[QUOTE="Faraway, post: 1387864, member: 1378"] I'm not sure what that's about. I do endeavor to choose the best word that gets the job done, and use pretty typical American English syntax. Anyway, just wondering what problems Cotton might "cause" by inbreeding his cattle... I mean, they really aren't like dogs-- they are for eating, and generally eating when they are fairly young. So whatever problems might happen, short of lethal defects, well, they were gonna get eaten anyway? And wondering how a few more calf crops before inbreeding his cattle will prevent those problems. If you're concerned about hidden genetic defects, one might reasonably argue that another generation or two of hiding those defects in an outcross breeding program is actually a bad idea. [/QUOTE]
