breeder
Raises animal lines
A breeder is someone who raises animals or plants for reproduction, typically to produce offspring with desirable traits: a dog breeder, a horse breeder.
In nuclear technology, a breeder reactor produces more fissile material than it consumes.
In gay slang, breeder is a mildly disparaging term for a heterosexual person, emphasizing their capacity for reproduction.
