[QUOTE="smoky, post: 635008, member: 1284"] If I am not mistaken, using a Limflex Bull on the Limflex cows will create the F2 cross. I have Balancer cattle and in my breed, there is a mindset by some breeders that 50-50 genetics created by an F1 cross (Gelbvieh x Angus) is less reliable and more variable than that same 50-50 created by an F2 cross (Balancer x Balancer). I think you need to analyze what your goals are to determine what bull would work best for you. I think if you really like the Limflex cows then use Limflex bulls that meet your breeding goals, therefore, you will have the ability to retain females with the same breed composition from your better cows.
