[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1387870, member: 24565"] Must be an old wive's tale. Who perpetuated the genetic defects recently in AAA? Big boys - more than you know. Inbreeding is one straw away or one son/dam, daughter.sire away. A linebreeding program is based on years. If outcrossing fixes problems then why are mainstream breeders always looking for correction or improvement? We have been through some basics earlier: have a goal(s), plan on 85% failure, cull phenotypically, select environmental fit. In outcrossed programs, the EPDs are better than the animals. In a linebred program, the improved breeders are better than the EPDs. [/QUOTE]
