[QUOTE="ClinchValley86, post: 1849081, member: 38595"] I would consider sire/daughter to be the same thing as son/dam matings. But there's only 1 dam being bred by her son, whereas the sire has many daughters to hit. 25% shared is better than 50 or 75%, my brain isn't math'n very well yet this morning. Don't put too much stock in my ramblings. But it is my honest foggy opinion. 😃 I just think sibling mating is a much safer way to go about it. With the dozen to two daughters I've let their sire breed, it was awful looking at the few weird ones. Very possible it was just that particular bull, too. One close bred heifer was built like a brick **** house, but was culled after calf #2. Her first calf was a dink and never really grew, and second calf didn't make it a week... My sample size is small, obviously. [/QUOTE]
