[QUOTE="BRG, post: 369574, member: 2397"] I never said I don't understand the real world end of the cattle industry. I have a pretty good handle on that. :) What I and most other ranchers don't understand completely is how the genes work. We know from real world experience what will happen when breeding different breeds to each other, yes you will get extra pounds and heterosis, but their are negatives that happen as well as I already stated. I am looking at it more than just a book standpoint. We are talking what the buyers are paying premiums for or discounting for. I know what happens because we go to the barns and sit there, bidding and buying, and watching the discounts and premiums happen from all kinds of different buyers, but the results are almost always the same, they just won't pay for the 4 way different crossed type cattle like they will for the more recognized breeds straight bred or F1 cross.
