[The Old Man]

Usually when family lines "run out" in a "line bred" program it is when one of two things have happened, one it is due to poor or improper selections for breeding, or two there was not sufficient numbers to keep from getting "bred into  a corner" then substituting sub standard individuals into the program, that's when the salt in the stew saying applies. That can and will haunt us for many generations and can be the death of said line.
