[QUOTE="Aero, post: 1707978, member: 2076"] Best plan I have is a 2 way maternal cross (closed herd, linebred, 2 different, genetically isolated breeds) then a terminal 3rd breed (any black bull...) and sell all the calves. 2/3 of added profitability will come from the heterosis in the F1 cow due to fertility and longevity improvements. Heterosis in the calf is a lot less because they don't stick around long enough to matter and heterosis mainly effects lowly heritable traits. [/QUOTE]
