[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 427839, member: 2095"] Linebreeding "is the way to go" only if the animal you are linebreeding really is worth basing whole cow familys around. IF the foundation sire is mediocre or worse has a fatal hidden flaw you would be much much better off outcrossing. AI makes linebreeding easier that it has ever been (since you can store semen for a human lifetime); but the business of selling semen.....ie the constant need for fresh faces to stimulate semen sells means that new genetics gain and lose favor much faster than previous generations of cattlemen were used to. Having the best cows in the breed is meaningless afterall if you can't market them. [/QUOTE]
