[QUOTE="Dylan Biggs, post: 815858, member: 14282"] How many generations away from a common ancesteral lineage do individuals have to be to qualify as an outcross mating? It seems the term gets used very loosely any more which is understanable when you consider that probably more then 95% of the Angus population stems from either Band, Rito and or Emulous lines for the last 40 to 50 years at any rate. Genetically speaking I always thought for a mating to be considered an outcross the gentic lineage must be unrelated. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
