[QUOTE="Clodhopper, post: 1414881, member: 24993"] Bickering is ten pages of the same old breed insults being thrown back and forth, when the same old breed insults have been made on countless other posts/topics. What I'm asking is, should the exclusive use of bulls from two quality,proven linebred herds be worth the probable added cost to find and purchase, as opposed to using outcross genetics? I read that throwing a quality linebred on an unrelated herd results in more uniform, higher quality calves in general. Would repeating that process between two herds of different breeds result in crossbreds that would, in a couple generations, be extremely consistent, but have the added hybrid vigor? It may be too much trouble for a commercial producer, but I want that consistency. Would it be worth the time and trouble just to produce crossbred calves? [/QUOTE]
