[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 4044"] From a publication on crossbreeding: Bill Lamberson, John Massey and Jack C. Whittier Department of Animal Sciences, University of Missouri-Columbia Composites are a stable intermating population originating from crossbred matings. Santa Gertrudis and Brangus are examples, as are the MARC composites developed at the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center. Composites usually incorporate a combination of breeds, each of which contributes a characteristic desirable for good performance or environmental adaptation. dunmovin farms > You might consider contacting the > national breed associations for > Brangus, Murray Grey, or Santa > Gertrudis to discuss their > experiences -- each of those are > now recognized "breeds" > that are essentially the result of > crossbreeding two > "original" breeds of > cattle.
