[QUOTE="gaurus, post: 1451564, member: 25416"] True, but sometimes too distantly related breeds will cause more harm than good even if their heterosis% is very high statistically speaking. For example (Bos indicus x Bos grunniens) x Bison will show the biggest hybrid vigor of any possible cross, but it will be a wash at the feedlot or will prove to be a poor gainer. a British/Continental cross will prove to be more profitable, so while hybrid vigor is good, breed complementation is better... :cboy: [/QUOTE]
