[QUOTE="Willow Springs, post: 836148, member: 9002"] Actually the crossing was promoted to gain traits from the other breeds at certain times in the breeds history, and was allowed up until 1965 (shortly after the Blonde herd book was established). But again the additions of the other breeds would have been minimal on a population basis, thus the very different traits that each breed shows, and did show even at importation. Not working on a Blonde/Red Angus composite just trying to breed for what each breed is best at. Red Angus for the maternal traits and the Blondes for the Terminal traits. I certainly wouldn't want a commercial herd with any amount of Continental influence, and don't think that they have any place in a commercial cow herd. They are just not convenience cattle no matter what anyone says. Harder to handle, need more & better feed, etc, etc. But can't beat them in the feedlot or on the rail when crossed with British cattle. [/QUOTE]
