[QUOTE="Ryder, post: 46570, member: 663"] Cherokeeruby-I would 'show' your question here but I haven't learned how to do that yet. According to Webster's, a hybrid is the offspring of two different breeds.... So Brahman X Hereford and Angus X Hereford would both produce hybrids. However, we know that another name for heterosis is hybrid vigor, and I would expect the Brahman X Hereford cross to show more heterosis than the Angus X Hereford. So while both would be hybrids, it stands to reason that the Brahman cross would be 'more of a hybrid'. I know the wording sounds awkward, but is the best answer I can give. [/QUOTE]
