Crossbreeding

[LoganLording]

If crossbreeding was possible, which would be the weirdest and which would be the coolest?

"if"?
Crossbreeding in dairy cows is performed all over almost every country in the world!

Theres a headline on BBC teletext Cornwall "Smallholder pleads guilty to unnatural breeding" Apparently she was banned from keeping animals and had to pay £2000 costs for allowing a bull to breed with its mother. Courts will be busy if this is applied to the human population.

Ah, but I was reliably informed by a vegan that if all cattle were set free, then members of the same families would not breed with eachother

This thread is rather disturbing.

You know what people from Devon say. Kick one Cornishman and they all squeak.

Cornish smallholder found guilty of causing unnecessary suffering to cattle and allowing ‘unnatural’ breeding to take place

A Cornish smallholder has been banned from keeping animals after being found guilty of causing unnecessary suffering to cattle, including allowing…

I'll be reading the court transcript once I find it.

I've never heard of the crime of "failing to prevent unnatural breeding procedures" before. If the news article is accurate then this sets a very dangerous precedent. All these suckler herds where heifers are served by their fathers could be potentially open to the same charge.

went to a dispersal at Exeter last year, it would be fair to say quite a lot of inbreeding, the same bull was in several generations, like serving daughters and granddaughters, with resulting calves reared, didn't make any difference to the price though. I do wonder how many people really look through the catalogue ?

Sold an Aubrac bull a number of years ago to a man who had what looked like purebred Charolais cows. Passed his farm around ten years later and he had a herd of predominantly Aubrac cows, and there was my big old bull sitting in the middle of them. Turns out he had the previous Charolais bull for twelve years, kept all the daughters and ran them on with their sire, and kept doing generation after generation. . He then did the same with the Aubrac bull he bought from me, hence the herd having half bred, 3/4 bred and 7/8 bred’s in the field!!! And the real kicker, the farmer was part time. His full time job was as head science teacher in a very large local secondary school!!!

Surgeon who did my vasectomy, in not so many words said he ought to be a lot busier with certain sections of the community

Scandalous But at least they kept it in the family! I once went out with a Cornish girl-dumped her when she told me she was still a virgin. If shes not good enough for her own family............ But if you believe the Bible we are all the product of "unnatural breeding" it was Adam & Eve, not Adam Eve and several unrelated other people. repeated again with Noah and his family.
