  1. Last year I went to an auction where 200 bred cows were sold. Most of the 200 cows were not related, and there were at least six bulls running with them. I bought 45 of these bred cows. I kept the heifers born from these cows for replacement stock, and I also kept one bull calf from the group. Best I can figure, the worst case scenario, the bull calf might be a half-brother to a few of the heifers. Is this going to be an inbreeding problem? Updated: October 28, 2008
