[QUOTE="AllForage, post: 1210755, member: 14878"] Hey I just stated what I meant when I used the term. If you don't think the shoe fits, then no need to justify anything to me. Just remember line breeding is not an event, it's a process. And yes it's takes a lifetime. In the case of my cattle they have been kept straight by 3 families since 1881. Besides actual pedigree breeding, I think we would all be better served by programs with more specific goals and adapted cattle to environments. Therefore giving commercial folks REAL choices in stock to combine and use as they see fit. "Improvement" as it is currently understood requires more and more inputs. Some have outpaced what the environment can provide. I think that's foolish. [/QUOTE]
