@Rmc - absolutely correct.
Maximum hybrid vigor is NOT Angus x Hereford - it is British crossed with Continental.
Researchers recommend using a PB bull on a crossbred cow, because you get better performance from the crossbred COW - better fertility, better milking, better health, longevity, better forager, etc. A 3-way cross is the maximum you want to use. PB cow x 1/2 1/2 bull. or 1/2 1/2 cow x with a PB bull.
A Simmental bull will give you great momma replacements and great feedlot cattle.
