[QUOTE="Willow Springs, post: 707776, member: 9002"] I've wondered the same thing when using some of the overseas Angus (no NA genetics in them) on North American Anugus genetics; or using Black Angus on Red Angus. I did both this year. In theory I thought there should be an effect, but I did read a geneticist saying somewhere that there would be very little increased vigour. If I remember correctly the reasoning went something like this; even though the populations followed different paths, they all started from the same gene pool, so they should still carry all the same genes just maybe in different combinations. Even British on British has less hybrd vigour than British on continental, again due to the similarity in genetic base. [/QUOTE]
