[QUOTE="W.B., post: 1563106, member: 3518"] I agree with above post. Crossbreeding can fix the problems in the f1 generation but be prepared for rapid regression in subsequent generations if bred back to either of the f1 breeds. The rash of open cows in the local commercial herds tells me lack of fertility selection in the seedstock herds is woefully inadequate. The generational turnover and lack of selection pressure for a low heritability trait is catching up to the commercial cowherds. [/QUOTE]
