[QUOTE="Whitepeak, post: 7855372, member: 45704"] Line breeding when it works, inbreeding when it doesn't! Shouldn't be any problem using him on unrelated females, and like you have said he has sired some "perfectly good calves". The only issues that could arise are if that bloodline carries a genetic defect. I'm sure he wasn't bred deliberately either, we all have the odd accident. I've just weaned a heifer calf who is the result of an accidental mother to son mating. Did try to estrumate the cow but she held. Calf is perfectly fine. The bit I would be unhappy with is the breeder not disclosing his breeding at point of sale when asked. And also his lack of understanding when you eventually complained. I would always fully disclose any pedigree information to a prospective buyer, and if we get a complaint I would always do my best to rectify the situation and keep the customer happy. There is nothing in the NBA or breed society warranties about close breeding, hence why your case was thrown out of court. Its up to individuals to decide how close is too close to breed. [/QUOTE]
