[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 1643"] MARC in Clay Center has an excellent report on corssbreeding with the information they used for developing the MARC I, MARC II, and MARC III animals. It goes into a deal deal of depth concerning numerical data derived from the varies purebred and crossbred animals. Problem is I loaned it to a neighbor and can't find it. If you e-mail them and ask about the effect of heterosis in crossbreeding I'll just bet they can tell you the name and send you a copy dunmovin farms > Is anyone aware of a good unbiased > source that compares the strengths > and weaknesses of different breeds > of beef cattle?
