[QUOTE="ANAZAZI, post: 691908, member: 7541"] The reasons to have pure bull and mixed cows: the advantage the maternal heterosis provides, and the concistency from a pure bull. Thus, a three way cross. To acheive consistecy with an f1bull one needs purebred cows. With purebred cows there is no maternal heterosis. This esentially means that heterosis is no better than crossing only two breeds. If consistency is no issue; please use f1 bulls at will! [/QUOTE]
