[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 760902, member: 4353"] According to my understanding of the term its the sire's ability to stamp his offspring with his characteristics (whether it be good or bad) My theory is that older herds where they have established a certain type there really isn't as much variety in type so the whole herd or the whole selection process leaves less room for variety and thus a better chance of a bull breeding true. That as well as in the case of older herds there are usually a few very influential families and often these families intertwine and in the larger picture there is a form of closer breeding than would typically be the case of outcrossing in herds where there hasn't been the chance for the influential families to rise to the top.
