[QUOTE="novatech, post: 481501, member: 5494"] With bos taurus X bos taurus I would not think so but Bos taurus X bos indicus there is a lot more growth. I found an interesting article on the subject but says nothing about heterosis. [url=http://animalscience.tamu.edu/main/academics/beef/pub/genetics/E165_carcassmerit.pdf]http://animalscience.tamu.edu/main/acad ... smerit.pdf[/url] I may have answered my own question after further research. Heterosis has vere little effect on quality. Given that fact along with what I have read crossbreeding is the only way to go. Seems like you could increase growth rate and size while retaining quality. I found an interesting chart on this site. redangus.org/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_download&gid=176&Itemid=164 - Sorry you will have to copy and paste. [/QUOTE]
