[QUOTE="BA, post: 351033, member: 1319"] Read "Battle of the Bull Runts" If the herefords (WHR) would have linebred and found the dwarfism, they would have stopped their problem before it nearly destroyed the breed. I believe the dwarfism was traced to breeding seven or eight generations back in the pedigree of the animals. If they would have been crossed with the dwarf carrier relatives within a couple generations, the huge problems could have been avoided. I wonder if there isn't as much linebreeding today because the breeders are afraid that they have some trash in there and would rather have it and not know it instead of testing for it and culling it out of the herd?
