[QUOTE="ALACOWMAN, post: 378228, member: 2047"] that's right.. if it was the heterosis they were after they would stick to the F1's then use another breed of bull of their choice to maximize. breeds like brangus were bred to endure southern heat and insects . but only 3/8 brahamn and 5/8 angus to get the best traits from the brahamn influance. but kept it to a minimum. you can take a brangus and breed in one direction for a single trait and lose most all heterosis sorta like breeding F2'S & F3's and so on. it starts to decline [/QUOTE]
