[QUOTE="skangusguy, post: 1676969, member: 38345"] Ask me in 20 years, I've been raising purebreds for just over that, and I'm still trying to learn. There's 2 main advantages to linebreeding. It concentrates the good genes and shows up the recessives. There's 2 main disadvantages. It concentrates the undesirable genes and slows the rate of input of more desirable genes. So unless you have nearly perfect cattle to begin with, you might be better off buying from a linebred program that aligns with your goals than doing a lot yourself? [/QUOTE]
