[QUOTE="dun, post: 473250, member: 34"] Sort of right but also wrong. Using an F1 bull on anything other then another F1 of the exact same breed composition will not get you to an F2. An F1 bull used on cross bred cows of totally different breed composition or purebreds of a different breed will still give you a decent amount of heterosis. The thing is that maternal heterosis is reallly the biggest part of the pie. That's why an F1 cow bred to a different breed of bull will produce a calf that will out do the F1 generation. [/QUOTE]
