[QUOTE="andybob, post: 482526, member: 2703"] The pig industry has been using F1 boars in controlled breeding programs for about 30 years. A typical program would have an F1 Landrace/Duroc damline cross bred to a Large White/Hampshire terminal line cross, resulting in optimal performance both in the F1 damline and the terminal generation. I know of several beef producers that have used similar systems successfully for many years, one 2000 cow herd consists of Afrikana/Red Angus and Afrikana/Sussex bred to F1 Simbra bulls, the terminal calves are finished in a feedlot for a contracted market, the parent stock have to produce under harsh conditions with only mineral supplements on bushveld grazing/browsing, resulting in a profitable production system.
