[QUOTE="alexfarms, post: 760837, member: 8677"] Most likely, occasionally, homozygosity for desirable traits will occur without linebreeding. The hangover that will follow is that other undesirable traits may be hidden in the prepotent animal and heavy use of the individual will spread the trait far and near before it is revealed, most likely through linebreeding. Then, a certain element of the industry will blame the revelation of the undesirable trait on linebreeding, whle in fact the detection and removal of the undesirable traits could have been dealt with earlier had linebreeding been practiced in the formation of the stock that produced the prepotent animal. An analogy might be the old biblical parable about the man who built his house on a solid foundation. It is alot easier said than done. [/QUOTE]
