[QUOTE="Bullitt, post: 1466553, member: 31518"] This may be what another member was trying to warm me about when he asked, why reinvent the wheel? Starting out with the Jersey X Limousin heifers would almost be like creating a breed. As you said, the calves would have to be culled hard to really improve the herd. As was mentioned, it is probably much easier to just buy quality heifers/cows to start with rather than breeding several generations to get quality cattle and good prices. It is always a trade-off -- time or money. Spend more money upfront for quality or spend more time developing quality. I am just exploring ways of doing things. [/QUOTE]
