    So maybe these are the same breed .

    I bought these 2 heifers a few weeks ago at the sale barn. Do you think they are the kind of breed as the other heifer posted ? This one has more of a beefmaster look,I think.

    What percentage ?

    Ok, I have a heifer that is limo/beefmaster. If,I breed her to a beefmaster. What is the percentage of beefmaster in the calf ? Then that calf is also bred to a beefmaster. What is that percentage ? I guess I'm wanting to know how many generations does it take to have a pure bred. Thanks Joy
