[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1298505, member: 9096"] I'd say it's less than ideal... either way, but I don't think it's the inevitable train wreck many people try to make it out to be.. basically, if you have lots of good genes, you're concentrating them, but if you have bad ones, you're concentrating those as well, and it works that way whether it's a father/daughter or mother/son mating. Depending on how the calves of my home-raised bull look, I may breed his mother to him this coming year as an experiment.. Her daughter was bred to the daughter's father and I have a very pretty long yearling bred heifer from that.. Last year the daughter's full sister was bred to him (her full brother), and I'll see how that turns out as well. (it's the more correct way of linebreeding... full sibs or cousins) [/QUOTE]
