    Im looking through the North West LM sale in Elphin next month and see a couple of heifers with Sympa on both the dam and Sire sides. Is this not a level of in-breeding? Or what is allowed.

    If it works it’s line breeding if it doesn’t it’s inbreeding

    Serious amount of inbreeding in the limousin breed. I bought a cow once and her mother and sire are both out of the same bull. I didn't know this when I bought her.
    I hate to see the same bull appear twice anywhere. Bulls such as sympa, tonka and cannon were seriously overused. That's why I like to use the French bulls. Mix it up a bit.

    Interesting that its allowed. Wouldn't there be genetic defects & such from it?
