[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 809279, member: 7645"] I am not criticizing three way crosses and I am not disputing the fact that a F1 black baldie cow is going to have more hybrid vigour than a 5th generation black baldie composite (this is true of all composites versus their F1 forbears). They would argue that the problem with your system is that you have to maintain that purebred Hereford herd and somebody has to maintain a purebred Angus herd to get that baldy cow. You can entirely eliminate two purebred herds by switching to the composite and if the composite is done right the calves from those composite cows are going to be more uniform and they will bring just as much $$$s per pound as your F1 when they run through the ring and you can still come back with the Char on the composite and probably not get a noticable drop in performance versus the 3 way.
