[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1725369, member: 40587"] Dead wrong. get 2 pieces of red string, and braid them together. This represents the red angus cows' cells...2 strands of DNA in each. Unravel them and take 1 string. That represents the red angus eggs. The other string needed to make cow cells comes from the bull. Now, take a white string and a brown string and twist them together, This the the 2 strands of DNA in each cell of that cross bred bull, Unravel them, and you have 1 white string and 1 brown string. A sperm cell has 1 strand of DNA....either a white strand or a brown strand. The OP will get more consistent calves, with the maximum hybrid vigor, from using a purebred Hereford or Braford bull, than the crossbred mutt. [/QUOTE]
