[QUOTE="Ryder, post: 46539, member: 663"] If you cross two breeds, the offspring will be crossbred and F1's. They are the F1 generation in relationship to the parents (P1 generation). They are not F1 because they are a cross of two breeds. Any offspring is the F1 generation in relation to the parents. If you mate a Brahman and a Hereford, the offspring will be crossbred and F1. If you mate two Herefords, the offspring will be the F1 generation, and they will also be Hereford, not crossbred. Cattlemen (and of course women) usually "mean" crossbred offspring when they talk of F1's. Nothing wrong with this as long as everybody knows what they mean. However, some people assume F1 refers to two particular breeds. As has been pointed out, this can be understood different ways in different parts of the country. So, when using the term to refer to crossbreds, it is important understand what breeds are involved. Just to make things more fun-the F2 generation is the offspring of F1 mated to F1. This gets into inbreeding. [/QUOTE]
