[QUOTE="dun, post: 482299, member: 34"] A big share of the reason the calves from an F1 cow are better(whatever that is) is because of maternal heterosis. Bulls have a real hard time providing that. An F1 lets say Hereford Simmenthal bull bred to a F1 Angus (your choice here other then Simmenthal or Hereford) Would in theory work very well. But with a hodgepodge cow herd you need to have at least one constant, i.e. a pure bred bull. [/QUOTE]
