Speaking of hybrid vigor. I've always wanted to cross a Morgan with a Percheron. I bet that would be a hard pulling horse. You probably couldn't wear that horse out with a stick.
bet they could jar some fillings loose to breakin' em :cowboy:Northern Rancher":3cgz1doi said:Have had lots of Qh/Belgian and Arab/Belgian cross horses over the years. Those big draftX saddle horses can handle muskeg pretty well.

chippie":ch833gnq said:Interesting crosses. We have a lot of alligators where we live.
I think that an alligator cross would be ideal for the Gulf Coast States. The hide would be desirable for designer shoes, handbags and luggage. Besides the regular cuts of meat, the tail would be a high dollar cut.
And they would do well in the wet weather and mud and could graze swampy areas. No hoof rot. They too would hibernate during the winter.
Elephant/longhorn would also have a great secondary ivory market. Your angus cross would be polled. Got to be thinking about these things!robert":12muw2ez said:been giving this some more thought and I think the Elephant / Angus cross would make a pretty good beast for the south, you'd have the size and growth of the Angus and some ear and perhaps a diluter gene from the elephant, add in the dual purpose hay stacking ability and the udder at the front so the biatches can't kick you and that's a pretty versatile animal, if the Angus influence makes 'em a little big I've heard the Olde African elephants could be used to downsize a tad..... That gator cross might work in the IA feedlots in the spring too!
