[QUOTE="townfarmer, post: 691904, member: 9305"] What do people think of using an F1 composite as a herd bull? Theoretically it would seem easier to use an F1 bull over a pure cow herd than using a purebred bull over F1 females to achieve a 3way cross. Easier in the sense of having to buy or breed your own F1 females. My Grandfather had a commercial hereford herd that he occasionaly crossed with angus and santa gertrudis bulls. The idea of a using a cross bred bull to him was lunacy. I'm assuming attitudes must be changing as I've noticed several composite bulls being listed at the sales of many reputable seedstock breeders. Just out of interest these murray grey/gelbvieh bulls caught my attention.
