[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1745389, member: 42463"] There was a thread here recently that talked about increased heterosis as it applied to weaning weights depending on the breeds involved. Only Continental breeds were tested so no Brahman, but the Hereford/Chianina cross numbers were impressive. I had a big Chianina heifer a while back and a little Hereford bull got through the fence. The calf was healthy and grew like mad, topping out at 825# at seven months. And it was the best of both breeds. Fat on grass like a Hereford and growth like a Chi. I loved that cow but she kept having twins and some didn't survive, and her heifers were having twins too, so I got rid of them all. [/QUOTE]
