[QUOTE="Oubuffel, post: 1677055, member: 41694"] Thanks for sharing some of your wisdom skangusguy! What you're saying is that it concentrates good genes, but also concentrates undesirable genes as well as additionally slowing down the rate of input of more desirable genes. That sounds like linebreeding won't get us anywhere, but in trouble. Certainly, there must be some hefty advantages to linebreeding, otherwise breeders wouldn't have been doing it for so long and purebreds wouldn't exist. So let's look at it this way and let's say we do have some nearly perfect cattle to begin with. The quickest and obvious first option available is to put the bull with his own daughters, right? What would the advantages, disadvantages and possible outcome of this particular linebreeding technique be? [/QUOTE]
