[QUOTE="TSR, post: 255901, member: 434"] In my opinion ,the results will be the same. You will have some really nice looking progeny but their will be a higher percentage of females that won't breed. I have never retained any bulls from this cross (they're now being called Limi Flex) but I SUSPECT you would find the same, GENERALLY SPEAKING-lower fertility. Having said that, the ones you keep that do breed will produce some nice calves, especially if you go to a 3-way cross using another breed. And yes, you can retain heifers out of this 3-way cross, just go back to one of the lower percentage parents to breed the retained heifers back to so you don't wind up with a mongrelized herd. This would need to be a terminal cross with all progeny being sold for slaughter. I have done this in the past. One thing I might add, the cows from these crosses will have great longevity as a rule. I still have some that are probably pushing 20 yrs old. still producing. Again just my opinion and experience. [/QUOTE]
