[QUOTE="novatech, post: 482482, member: 5494"] We seem to be going in circles here. Maybe just in my head. I agree with brandon 2, as this is what I did. But I sold the F1's (braford) to cow calf operators that would go back with a contental or angus bulls. I agree that there would be less heterosis but there is still a gain. There would be even less gain in heterosis going back with a herford, but there is still some. If I took an F1 (braford) bull and put it on a straight bred herd of angus I could obtain the same amount of heterosis as the three way cross using F1 females (braford) and the straight bred angus bull or contental bull. I understand that the F1 females have an advantage. I am talking of heterosis only. Just a side note. Breeding brahman to herford does not garantee a tigerstripe. 50% of the time I got red baldies.
