[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1739093, member: 12607"] No. It doesn't work that way. Yes, the F1s will have received a set of Brahman chromosomes from one parent, and a set of Hereford(or Angus) chromosomes from the other parent. But, those chromosome 'sets' don't 'stay together' during meiosis. Sperm &/or eggs from those F1s will not carry all Brahman or all Hereford genes... each one will carry a mix of B.indicus and B.taurus genes. So... crossing F1 x F1 will not ever give you any offspring that are pure Brahman or pure Hereford(or angus). [/QUOTE]
