[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1342724, member: 22295"] Look at all the crosses being sold by breeders today. Balancers are one. There are many more. The Ultra Blacks. In fact most of the breeds are crosses and even some in the Angus and Herefords breeds aren't pure even though they are registered. Black Simmi's and all are derived from crossing. Not something I intentionally do but have seen several successful cattlemen do it especially if they are retaining ownership. I know who father/son doing it now. The thing is they keep very good records and know what their crosses are and the percentages. When they do sell a load at the sale barn their crosses top the market due to their reputation. And most of the bulls they use are percetage bulls even though they maybe solid colored. So again it can work but not my cup of tea. I do like looking at good cattle so enjoy looking at theirs.
