[QUOTE="simcross, post: 699885, member: 1557"] To get a 5 breed cross bred in exactlly 1/4-1/4-1/4-1/8-1/8 you would need A purebred crossed with a 1/2-1/2 to get a 1/2-1/4-1/4 say a hereford bull crossed on an gelbv limmie cross cow to get 1/2H 1/4G1/4L 1/2-1/2 angus-simmental bull crossed on the 1/2H 1/4G 1/4L cow you would get 1/4 angus 1/4 simmental 1/4 hereford 1/8 Gelbvieh 1/8 Limousin A person could put any breed in they wanted Having written it out it doesn't seem as hard to do as I first thought I don't know if you could get any extra hybrid vigor out of this much cross. The quailty of the individual animal would have more to do with getting a quaility calf than 5 different breeds [/QUOTE]
