[QUOTE="rocket2222, post: 614596, member: 5362"] From what I've read in the past, [ old, slightly overworked brain, not always reliable ] DNA wise, your only good for three generations, the forth and any prior generations genetics have been so discombobulated by the last three generations they are irrelevant. This would lead me to believe that if you truly wanted to linebreed one particular animal, that animal would need to be reintroduced into your breeding plan at least once every third generation, to have any significant impact. This also means that in three generations, you can totally change the genetic make up of your herd. [ pretty obvious statement. ] Whether you are linebreeding, mix and match or outcrossing, it still boils down to the breeder making the right choices of who to breed too, thats going to make the difference on whether its a successful mating or not.
