[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1159362, member: 9096"] I think that would depend a lot on how related the breeds are.. even though 'simangus' and 'simbrah' are considered breeds, I don't think you'd get as much heterosis by putting them over a simm cow, or not as much as herf x simm at least. As for me, I do try for a consistent phenotype, though it's a bit of a moving goalpost.. I find strong points in different breeds, and perhaps when I'm a really old man I'll have the formula for what suits me nicely... One that I'm liking the results of so far is 1/4 Saler, 1/4 SH, and 1/2 Gelbvieh.. seems to produce a really good animal.. I have a Limo now, but until I see how the calves do (as cows) the jury is out. [/QUOTE]
