Just need to know

[RIRs]

I have a buck from my man buck which is getting old. I need to know if I can use the younger buck to rebreed back to his mother or will something go wrong? Any info will help me so please post.

Thanks,

Inbreeding will strengthen whatever traits are there. If you have a good solid line with no aparent flaws (small litteres, bad mothers etc.) you should be fine.

Father to daughter, is acceptable but never son to mother... Google "line breeding goats" there is alot of info out there..


My mistake thought I was in the "Goat" section... I know nothing about rabbits...

I have a couple of junior bucks I've kept back and have been growing out for months for the purpose of breeding back to the mothers if they turn out like I'm expecting. I have several other nice bucks I could use but I'm looking for certain specifics. Inbreeding is an accepted practice with rabbits. It can be great or not so great for some of the reasons hoodat mentioned.

Ok then I will try it once and see what I get because for me to get another new zealnd white buck I have to travel 6 hours to north florida and how the gas is that wont help.
Thanks,
