[QUOTE="Engler, post: 1051723, member: 4110"] In my opinion a "true breeder" is someone who has a goal in mind and is headed directly in that direction. While linebreeding is not a must, most likely that is a piece of it. I would want their herd prefix on the majority of the animals in the pedigree. I look at my dad, he's really good at making matings that work, but he's working with less than 20 matings a year. That's not going to be enough to do anything to change the industry. My question is this: If someones ideal is something that the rest of the industry thinks is junk, but they are steadfast in trying to breed, develop, raise that kind, are they still considered "true livestock breeders"?
