[QUOTE="burroughs85, post: 1727593, member: 42429"] [B]Tribe[/B] seems to be a special term addressing the[I] maternal line[/I] in the context of stock breeding. I could not find anything on a Google search regarding this term. It might be archaic in that usage. I once read a book about Labrador retrievers. Supposedly, according to the author, American dog breeders look more closely at the male side of families in regards to [B]quality[/B] of litters while Europeans tended to scrutinize the female side of domestic animals. In cattle breeding, the Spaniards had this odd notion that "brave cows beget brave bulls". This is not sound science. Cows [I]bear[/I] calves and don't [I]beget[/I] them to boot. Both sire and dam contribute equally to the gene pools so both sides should be considered. [/QUOTE]
