The Basis of Linebreeding is the product of a lifetime of interest in linebreeding and the study of the work of the well-known Hereford breeding firm of Gudgell & Simpson who were masters of linebreeding. There are other books written by academics which are generally of a more technical nature and often of little value to the everyday breeder.

To order this book, email Jim Lents with your information and desire to purchase the book.
