[QUOTE="lead_dog, post: 357895, member: 5972"] I've really appreciated reading all these posts and learning from all the experience out there. Certainly I have a lot to learn and little to offer. Clearly there are benefits to heterosis, but it seems hard for me to figure out in advance what the secondary and tertiary breedings should be. If I could, I'd start with very good Murray Grey cows and breed them to a great Angus bull. I mean, I only have 50 acres of pasture, and my herd will probably never be bigger than 50. My goal is to produce great beef animals that are optimized to do very well on our grass. So much of the later breeding seems like an ongoing management decision of what the herd is lacking at that time, and how can I best add those characteristics in. Could be shorthorn or, who knows. That will determine what the next cross will be. [/QUOTE]
