[QUOTE="Larry Sansom, post: 141171, member: 332"] One more thought on your F1 use. Remember Secretariat - the great race horse. He never did sire anything worth talking about. The perfect example of heterosis! He did have a few daughters that made decent mares - but not big $ winners. Most of this came from his decent pedigree. Using crossbred cattle in a linebreeding program will likely extend your time to fix the type you are looking for and you will see all types of spread on the calves - since you are working with a non prepotent set of cattle to begin with. It can happen- but get ready for a long time invested, and make critical culling decisions early- or you will never get what you are looking for in your lifetime. [/QUOTE]
