[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 873647, member: 9096"] We started out our herd with a bunch of herf cows, some may have had RA or simm in them. What I'm trying to say is keep breeding your cows to a new breed, you should end up with heterosis just the same, you'd just have to give very long descriptions of the breed of every cow... The point of the article seems to be don't breed a crossbred cow to a bull to which she has a breed relation to. I can see it in our herd, we had 2 of our best cows (1/2 Shorthorn) give us 2 heifer calves in a row, the first year they were line bred, the second year they were bred to a different shorthorn bull, and none of the 4 heifers turned out to be much.
