[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1781491, member: 40587"] Some cases it makes a difference. Lot of difference in a mule and a hinny. Or a liger and a tigion. But makes no difference breeding a Percheron stallion to a Belgian mare, of a Belgian stallion to a Percheron mare. The first 2 are mating to different but related species, and the latter is mating different breeds of the same species. it has been noted that using a Brahma bull on a Hereford cow, can result in huge bull calves, where as Hereford on Brahma there isn't that much difference in size for bull and heifer calves. It is a lot cheaper, though, to put a $5k Brahma bull on $1k Hereford cows, than it is to put a $2k Hereford bull on $2500 Brahma cows. Like you . most of my life I saw more Angus bulls on Hereford cows, than Hereford bulls on Angus cows. One reason I am sure has to do with the price of Angus cows vs Hereford. But another reason is because in general, Hereford cows, as new mothers, are a whole lot more docile than an Angus cow with a new baby. Physically, I couldn't tell a H x A black baldy from a A x H black baldy. [/QUOTE]
