[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1407327, member: 14585"] Yep, 3 way cross has stood the test of time to become the gold standard for terminal production. Composites main advantage is for the benefit of the seed stock seller, not the benefit of the terminal producer. Seed stock producer captures the biggest shot of heterosis for himself. Making it easier to produce a good looking composite than a good looking purebred, but the value of a sire is in his offspring and not his own appearance. Producing composites also increases the profitability of the culls for the seed stock producer. [/QUOTE]
