[QUOTE="WarEagle73, post: 978382, member: 19171"] In the system I have in mind there wouldn't be a true "terminal" cross. I would retain females from every cross and put them back into the rotation. Something like Angus->Brangus->Hereford->Angus->Brangus.... This way I would maintain a high level of heterosis at each cross. Like I said above, I like Angus and Hereford because I have seen what they can do, producing excellent steers and good maternal replacement females from the same bull. And I may be completely wrong, but all of these breeds today seem to be able produce steers with the growth and carcass traits the industry desires. [/QUOTE]
