[QUOTE="VanC, post: 848644, member: 3355"] I agree with Brandon. Doesn't seem worth the trouble. Plus when the 3 breed rotation stabilizes, the percentages of each breed ends up roughly 4/7 of the first, 2/7 of the second and 1/7 of the third. So every one of the calves ends up with only 1/7 blood of one of the three breeds. Doesn't seem like a big enough percentage to make much difference, especially considering the extra management that system takes. Either way, you'd definitely need three breeds that are fairly compatible and you'd need to use bulls that are balanced in both maternal and terminal traits. [/QUOTE]
