[QUOTE="MoGal, post: 698833, member: 1346"] Bizin: Have you considered a black galloway instead of the bison......... I think they would do everything you're expecting of the bison but would be a beef breed. Or are galloways considered exotic? (I see looking over your posts again, you mention that) there surely are some people out there breeding sim/angus to beefmasters (that's the one that readily comes to my mind and I realize there are many other crosses as well) for a 5 way cross. I would think they are getting hybrid vigor and heterosis. I don't know that an 8 way cross is beneficial because the breeds would be so diluted. We have some heifers we'll be breeding this winter. They are 1/4 holstein, 1/4 angus , 1/2 red poll and also 1/4 holstein, 1/4 angus , 1/2 galloway. The hubby has said we're breeding them to a hereford. I don't think we're "mongrelizing" them, but then that's just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
