Got to have a purpose rather than a mere desire. Need to know that all variation is never eliminated. Need to know that the benefits to you are in a % of the resultant animals. The greater benefit is a fixed set of genes rather than the mainstream thought of a fixed set of EPDs, FS, carcass traits or whatever. Opinion: you won't be doing much good if you don't get above 25% IBC.cotton1":2olctvox said:Please elaborate in YOUR OWN WORDS Ebby

I currently have a linebred (father/daughter) heifer that looks really good.. she is bred to her mother's full brother (who's sire is evidently her sire and grandsire, and who's dam is her grand-dam).. don't know what the IBC works out to on that calf, but I know it's getting up there

Oh, you're SCREWED Nesi. Those hermaphroditic calves will probably have three eyes and three legs. You should probably just quit now.
Half sibs. Full brother/full sister = 25%sister/brother =12.5%
