[QUOTE="Larry Sansom, post: 140305, member: 332"] [i]I wish I knew where there were consistant bred herds of cattle with the same phenotype.... [/i]Ollie - the place you look for that is with linebred cattle - the master of that is a hereford breeder Jim Lents. His "Lamplighter" newletter is great reading and his book - "The basis of Linebreeding " is a Must read for any serious cattle breeder. Line breeding works - I know I have been doing it since reading Jim's book and the "type" will become prepotent very quickly, but it does take several generations to get the prepotency to Jim's level. This was proven in his recent Genestar testing - Every bull tested showed the exact same results - even the company cheched it again to make sure no errors were made. I have thrown out the epd worry and will only linebred what works on my management and environment and let the epd's fall where they will. [/QUOTE]
