[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 345903, member: 1604"] I know of a feedlot that would have oodles of that kind of info. I'll shoot them an e-mail and see if they'll share it. Only way I could see a study like this happening is to take two separate breeds of purebred cows/bulls who have had F/E data collected on them and cross those to measure the F/E data of the calves. It would take more than a few to get any accuracy. To say that a generic crossbred animal would or would not get better F/E, with any certainty,would be a foolish statement, IMHO. But common sense tells us that F1's are more hardy than purebreds just by removing the inbreeding potential. I would guess the F1 would be given the right parents. Frankie, did you starve that calf of yours until you delivered him to the bull test? [/QUOTE]
