Wiescamp kept 7 of his sons as breeding stallions and 57 of his daughters as broodmares in Wiescamp's linebreeding program.
A validation independent from genomic information is only possible by comparing the SDGBV of a bull with the standard deviation of the phenotype-based estimated breeding values of its sons.
He and his son keep 500 breeding ewes and maybe 50 heifers, all organic.
Because the sons of the primary breeding male in one group often become the primary breeding male in adjacent groups (Perry and Manson 2008), there is no reason to expect significant genetic diversity between groups occupying adjacent/overlapping home ranges, as these groups do.
H.D., as his son is known, runs the breeding operation and shuttles the bulls to rodeos, while Dillon directs the day-to-day workings of the ranch.
Random doe breeding assignments resulting in sire-daughter, dam-son, or full sibling matings were nullified and a new doe breeding assignment was generated.
