[QUOTE="novatech, post: 647177, member: 5494"] Because crossbred cattle are not going to give you the heterosis gain that you would get from the F1. Brangus (the breed) is a composite and there is no heterosis. With Brangus bred to Herford or Continental there is heterosis but just not near as much as when an [b]F1[/b] Brangus is crossed with the same bull. This is the reason there are many in my area raising F1's. There is a tremendous demand. I would go as far to say that they (F1 Brangus and Braford) are the number one sought after cross for momma cows on the Gulf Coast. [/QUOTE]
