doing a 3 way cross for the average rancher seems like a lot of money, time, land and feed invested with no financial return before you get what you want. Is their a way to figure how much is invested in the final final product. by searching
http://www.cattle range.com and other web sites their is a lot of breeds and crosses represented, would it not be cheaper to go that route or even buy a 2 way cross and breed the third yourself. Correct me if I am wrong but for the first cross to calf a mininum of 34 months would be invested . Then it would be another 6 months before the 3 way cross is sold. 40 months would be invested with a perfect sernerio before any return is received. How would you figure a 3 way cross time wise.
