[QUOTE="oakcreekfarms, post: 471599, member: 3177"] A little off topic but did anyone watch the dietler brothers auction. Those crossbred heifers had twice the muscle and depth as the straight angus. Those simangus were beautiful animals and I wish i could have put a few in a commercial herd. Maybe someday. I have tried reading up on heterosis because i wish one day to take over my grandfathers herd. he runs straight black angus or angus source cows on angus bulls. I have tried doing some research on how to maximize profit in a straight terminal herd without dealing with birthing issues. I have thought about crossing those angus with herefords to maintain an efficient cow herd with good mommas and then breeding back to limi bulls. I guess I am thinking that because I raise herefords and my cousin raises limis, and the angus stock is already there. I think by maintaining a british cow herd then breeding back to cont. sires I will be able to maximize heterosis. Am I thinking in the right direction [/QUOTE]
