[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 358476, member: 1604"] Brett Barham, Ph.D. Introduction Extension Livestock Specialist The terms composite, synthetic and hybrid are used to signify new breeds or new lines of cattle. Many times these terms are used interchangeably. In any case, a planned mating scheme is designed to combine the desirable traits of two or more breeds into one “package” (or composite). A more formal definition of a composite is a breed made up of at least two component breeds, designed to retain heterosis in future generations without crossbreeding and maintained as a purebred.
