[QUOTE="Ryder, post: 633554, member: 663"] Daniel, F1 is a genetics term. It can refer to plants or animals. It is not excluisve to cattle. F1 is a shorthand way of saying "first filial generation". Generation comprised of the first offspring from a given set of parents.. As an example, if you mate a hereford and an angus, these two animals would be designated the P1 generation-- Meaning the first parental generation in this case. The off spring of the two parents would be the first filial generation in relation to the two parents, the F1 generation. In this case, the offspring would also be crossbred. So they would be F1 crossbreds. F1 has been used so much to refer to crossbreds that a lot of people think that is the definition. [/QUOTE]
