[QUOTE="Old Tip, post: 8122012, member: 292"] They do think the same way, Now, it Will just take a while for the message to get across to some people. But on the other hand some breeds especially those using largely AI are very in bred with only a couple of bulls being used on a large proportion of the breed. This can lead to issues with unwanted traits increasing such as breed abnormalities. in one of my favourite breeds the Whitebred Shorthorn this has been a problem but mostly due to the concentration of the breed in the North of England and the Scottish Borders. This led to a mass slaughter of the herds in during F&M culls and then some inbreeding leading to a recessive gene becoming more prevalent. So a geographic spread of the breed is also a factor in case a similar crisis hits us again like bird flu or swine fever. [/QUOTE]
