[QUOTE="novatech, post: 592155, member: 5494"] By going back in pedigrees one can find that certain genetic traits came from particular bulls. These bulls can still be used even if the semen is no longer available. By going back through pedigrees count the number of times that particular bull shows up. But there is a trade off. You will also be pulling up some bad traits. The line breeders recognized these bad traits and breed them out using line-breeding. Strengthening the good traits and culling those bad traits out. Just by going back to the same bull that a line-breeder used is not necessarily a good thing. [/QUOTE]
