[QUOTE="Bullitt, post: 1472834, member: 31518"] There is a chart in this article about cross breeding. [url=https://futurebeef.com.au/knowledge-centre/crossbreeding-systems-for-beef-cattle/]https://futurebeef.com.au/knowledge-cen ... ef-cattle/[/url] It shows that a two-breed cross produces 8.5 % more weight at weaning, and a three-breed cross produces 23.3% weight at weaning compared to straight breeding. That is nearly a quarter more in weight than just breeding cattle of the same breed. That is very impressive. It seems the easiest way would be to buy replacement heifers that are a cross, such as the Brahman X Hereford, and breed those to purebred bull. A two-breed cross does not come close to the weight gain seen with a three-breed cross. [/QUOTE]
