[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 715931, member: 7645"] If all you are pushing is weaning and yearling weight, I think you CAN do that with some of these biggest growthyest Angus sires. If you are stacking +100 YWt EPD Angus sire after +100 Angus sire after +100 Angus sire in your cow herd you ought to be reasonably satisfied with your weights IF the environment will allow using those genetics. The big effect from crossbreeding is getting a better, more fertile, longer lasting commercial momma cow. IF all they are worried about is growth, and they are educated in EPDs and Angus sire lines.....they can achieve those goals with a straightbred cow herd. I don't know that I would want to winter those kind of cows; but you don't have to crossbreed to get pounds. [/QUOTE]
