[Jacob-list] Inbreeding

[CARL FOSBRINK]

   If you breed the ram lamb to his mother the
offspring will have 75% of the same genes as the
mother. If she is an outstanding ewe and the ram son
is a good speciman also this might not be too bad. I
would not recommend breeding brother and sister
together as all genes are doubled, both good and bad.
Both brother and sister could be carrying recessive
genes for some bad faults that would become dominate
genes if bred together. It is a gamble even when both
brother and sister are PERFECT specimans.
