[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1725418, member: 40587"] This is EXACTLY what I said! LOL!!! Can [I]you[/I] read? The [I]2nd[/I] best is the 3 way cross. The most heterosis comes from the 1st pb x pb. Like Angus and Hereford for black baldies. If you breed these to a 3rd breed, like Brahma, you get some heteratosis. but not as much as the 1st 2-way cross After that, there is very little. No, he said that using cross bred heifers as replacements could result in inconsistencies in hide color, horned or polled, size etc. He is talking about the box of crayons approach that some people use in replacement heifers, and hell, some on here use for bulls! Purebred polled Herefords crossed with pb homozygous-for-black Angus, will consistently give you polled black baldies. If the OP has purebred red Angus, and uses a purebred polled Hereford bull, then he will consistently get polled red baldy calves, which will out-=perform pure RA or poure Herefords either one.
