[QUOTE="phillse, post: 351007, member: 5684"] I believe Jim LEnts put it best on linebreeding in his book "Principles of Linebreeding"; he said the key to linebreeding was unrelenting culling during the 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation of linebreeding. THIS in effect cleansed the herd and left a good herd. AS for LIne breeding, I Have bred half sibs 6 times and I have bred grand sire to granddaughter 2 times. IN regard to growth on the half sib mating 1 was trash, three were superior and 2 were average. In the grandsire to granddaughter the 2 calves were great they actually out performed the outcross calves on growth. With LINEbreeding you keep the best and cull the rest, the same as you should do with any breeding program. [/QUOTE]
