[QUOTE="jnowack, post: 229663, member: 3954"] First I would caution you about buying any bull from the sale barn. They are usually there for a reason. Somebody culled them. Now there are crossbreds, hybrids, composites etc. Generally the hybrids and composites have registation papers and some performance data and EPD's. But they are still crossbreds. What I call a true composite is like a Santa Gertrudis, Beefmaster, Brangus...etc. The initial crosses are made and then they breed them to each other to make more of the breed rather than just crossing 2 or 3 breeds over and over. The hybrids are usually 50-50 or 75-25 of 2 breeds.(F1 OR F2). There are a lot of people out there who think these hybrids are great. Maybe they will work well on a group of very uniform consistant cows. But most commercial herds have a degree of diversity and will probably have a more uniform calf crop when bred to a purebred.
