[QUOTE="dun, post: 89602, member: 34"] Although it doesn;t bear directly on beef cattle, I was talking with a good dairyman, one of the few in the area, and he said he doesn;t want any one animal to contribute more then 30%. He feels you start getting to many odd calves (not as good as either parent) if it gets above that. Of course he's a rookie like me and has only been breeding Holsteins since around 1960. But, the local vet tried his genetic experiment and kept breeding daughters of EXT back to EXT. The 4th generation of that was bred to 036 and had a huge dead heifer a week early and prolapsed and died. It's pretty tough when the vet is out saving other peoples cows and loses one of his own. dun [/QUOTE]
