[QUOTE="VanC, post: 819310, member: 3355"] Well then it seems some are using the term "composite" a bit loosely these days. [url=http://www.omafra.gov.on.ca/english/livestock/beef/facts/info_compbb.htm]http://www.omafra.gov.on.ca/english/liv ... compbb.htm[/url] True composites may have started out as crossbreds. But those crossbreds were bred to each other for several generations until certain traits became stabilized. Beefmasters, Santa Gertrudis, Brangus, and Brafords are examples of true composites. Just because more than one breed is involved doesn't mean it's a composite. A Hereford bull bred to an Angus cow results in a crossbred, not a composite. A hybrid, as I understand it, is a fancy name for a crossbred. [/QUOTE]
