What does a cattle breeder do?
A cattle breeder breeds and raises cattle to sell. They can breed the cattle for many different things. Some of these cattle could be for show or some for just beef.
How can you improve cattle breeds?
First of all, you have to start by picking your favorite breed. Then you improve that breed by breeding bulls of that breed to cows of the same breed together, culling out those animals that are inferior and keeping those that are superior. Cattle breeds can be further improved by the use of closed-herd breeding, which means incorporating in-breeding and line-breeding to bring out any undesirable genetic abnormalities that may exist within this breed. Any bull or cow that is a carrier to a type of genetic abnormality should be culled. You can also improve a breed by selecting for different traits that this breed could be stronger in. For example, with Herefords, you could try to breed-up this breed to increase milking ability and the amount of milk cows give, while at the same time keeping (or improving) the breed's ability to have good feed efficiency and great mothering ability.
How does Selective Breeding Impact our Society?
The society gives out a demand that makes reasoning for the breeding to take place. Afterwards if a new breed is created or in the making everyone voices their opinion's about it. Market research would start holdind polls to see if the investment in the breeding is worth the trouble, animal rights patitionist (sp?) take up campains to defend the animal in question, people that have the money and lack of concern go crazy to try and get they're hands on one to use as an exotic pet. Bottom line, if it's publicized enough it'll cause major controversy.
How many cows can a 20 month old bull expect to breed in a season?
A 20 month-old bull should be able to breed around 10 to 30 cows in a breeding season. The most may be 40, but that could be pushing it.
What breeds of dogs are bow legged?
no certain dog breed HAS to be bow legged. it is all genetics. any dog could have bow legs. like it or not, there is no fix but better breeding... bow leggedness is often a result of poor breeding such as breeding two sibling dogs together, which often results in diseases and bow leggedness.

Could you get spider like superpowes?
The short answers is no. Spider powers, like Spider Man, could only be achieved through hundreds of years of genetic enginneering and selective breeding.
How could you use artificial selection to breed pigeons with large beaks?
Artificial selection (or selective breeding) describes intentional breeding for certain traits, or combination of traits. The way to breed pigeons with large beaks is to find pigeons with large beaks of both sexes and mate them and then not allow breeding for pigeons without large beaks. You may also be able to genetically engineer pigeons so that they have large beaks.
How did human create draft horses?
Humans do genetic manipulation technique on animals and plants called selective breeding. Draft horses were created through mostly selective breeding. People needed large strong horses to pull heavy weights and work the land. To create a draft horse people would have found the largest and strangest specimens they could find and breed them together hoping for a foal that combined the best of each parents genetics. This type of breeding continued until the people had a fixed type. Once that happened they began creating separate and unique breeds of draft horses.
What two breeds of dog were used to create the Chihuahua?
It's unlikely that you can breed two dog breeds other than a chihuahua to create one. The dogs that made the chihuahua could be ancient or extinct. Chihuahuas could have also not come from crosses at all, just selective breeding.
Does selective breeding benefit farmers?
Selective breeding can provide a preferred quality of food for the farmer. This means that the food produced will be preferred by customers, resulting in a larger sale and profit. Selective breeding can also increase the percentage yield of the food produced.However, selective breeding often means breeding the animals with relatives to achieve the 'ideal' quality. This results in a greater chance of genetic diseases being passed on. It also means that very little new genetic material is introduced into the gene pool, which means that most animals will have similar genes. When this happens, a new strain of disease could easily wipe out the entire farm as there is little variation between species.This also applies to plants.Another Opinion:Actually there's a few holes in the above answer, especially the second paragraph. Selective breeding is not just about line-breeding or inbreeding. Selective breeding is about selecting and breeding those animals that are best suited to meet the standards set by a producer. The animals that are not ideal for the goals and objectives that the producer has in mind, which are called inferior livestock, are simply culled from the herd or flock.Inbreeding or linebreeding is used as a means of selective breeding, but only has a means to purify a particular breed, to allow genetic abnormalities to raise their ugly heads in order to see which animals are carriers of these genetic diseases and whether they should be culled or not. Sure inbreeding could cause animals to have a poorer immune system, but that's only if a producer gets really careless with the inbreeding program and has no herd health or biosecurity program to prevent this from happening.So yes, selective breeding does benefit producers but only if it's used with care and a bit of common sense.
Do zoo animals have breeding difficulties?
Yes the zoo animals definitely have breeding difficulty as they are put in a different enclosure than that in which they could possibly breed and they need open surroundings and they could breed well in nature rather than in the zoo .
Is breeding labrador retriever breeding a good business to get in?
Yes because they are a very popular breed of dog and you could make a lot of money and pleasure out of it!
In what ways has selective breeding been useful to humans today and in the past?
-Humans have used selective breeding for ages. Horses were originally too small to carry a human alone for any considerable distance, hence the invention of chariots, but selective breeding allowed horses to evolve to sizes that could easily carry even the heaviest passengers. Cattle were bred to produce more milk, and produce more meat. Dogs were bred to fill a variety of jobs, from farming, to hunting, to fighting.
Why wont your female dog allow your male dog to breed her?
If your female is not "breeding" it could be age, species, or not her "season".
