[QUOTE="CreekAngus, post: 1568664, member: 38224"] Young Angus: Man you have some really good questions. Right now you have two threads going on and some of your answers for these questions can be found in the other. If this is the direction you are going, don't worry about female family lines, everyone has a Blackbird, Black Cap, Lady this, Lady that, Lady should have been culled.......Buy the females you see fit your program as you sated, it's best to have uniformity. It could take you 10 years to get there, but it's the best way to operate. Line breeding really works well if you have those specific genetic traits you want to keep moving from one generation to the next. Hereford breeders still breed this way and it's actually one of their selling points. We in the Angus like to believe we out cross everything. We don't out cross crap, there are very few forks in the breed any longer. Look at almost every cow or bull out there now, somewhere Ext is their genealogy. I'm actually leaning towards doing some line breeding, but not a full on, I'm going to use War Party 1472 and then chase his daughters with 2417.
