[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 809263, member: 7645"] YES, you lose most of the hybrid vigor you get with an F-1. However if you know what you are doing (and get incredibly lucky along the way) you wind up with a homozygous black, homozygous polled, whitefaced, pigmented British, breed with the marbling of the Angus, the disposition of the Hereford, good growth, efficiency, ruggedness, and strong maternal qualities to use in a crossbreeding program with a continental or (in the south) Bos Indicus breed. That is the [b][u]theory[/u][/b] anyway. I can't fault the theory behind the breed. It is a good theory when you just talk about it. I just am not all that consistently impressed with the results to this point though. [/QUOTE]
