[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1325795, member: 14661"] Yes, but look at how careful you are about sire selection. The best angus cattle will outperform crossbreds of mediocre parentage. If you were to apply heterosis and be as careful in your genetic selection as you've been running only angus you'd really leave them in the dust. As far as economics, the calves that really perform on a grid are 3/4 english 1/4 continental and half angus is preferred. That leaves a lot of room for genetic input that still gives you uniformity. Limflex over baldies, balancers, South devon over angus, there's lots of ways to do it and they all work if you let them. [/QUOTE]
