[QUOTE="dun, post: 72422, member: 34"] Interesting in theory, but a crossbred bull (F1) put on cows from another breed base will give you a lot more heterosis then using a straight bred bull. In theory a 3 way cross maximizes the possible heterosis, unless you get into the 5-7 way cross but I personally feel it's hard to find that many breeds that have complimentary traits that will still provide any degree of heterosis. Once again, personal opinion only dun [/QUOTE]
