Breeding has several meanings related to procreation:
* In animal husbandry and in horticulture the selection of stock for propagation and the act of insemination by natural or artificial means is called breeding. See Selective breeding, artificial selection, and plant breeding.
* The act of copulation in animals is sometimes called breeding.
* Breeding refers to the vocation of propagating a particular breed in the hobby of animal fancy.
* In nuclear power, a breeder reactor is a type of nuclear reactor whose fuel does not occur naturally but must be produced or bred within the reactor from some other material. A fusion power plant is also a type of breeder reactor because it must produce its tritium fuel from lithium.
* Bred vectors are perturbations, related to Lyapunov vectors, that capture fast growing dynamical instabilities of the solution of a numerical model.
'Breeding' may also be used to refer to the quality of a person's upbringing (parenting, education, and manners); in this sense, it does not necessarily refer to their biological ancestry.

The sound of it suggests that you are doing something unnatural here, but all you're doing is choosing the mates for farm animals. If you want less fatty meat, for example, you could mate just the leaner animals to produce the next generation. Natural breeding...just let them choose.

Artificial breeding permits the use of proved sires, developed through successive crosses of animals of proved merit.

Do you mean artificial insemination? That is when harvested sperm is frozen, then warmed up before being injected into a female animal ( or indeed person) via a catheter tube.

this will happen when Pamela Anderson and Michael Jackson decide to have a baby together. You think all that plastic surgery is a good thing?
