[QUOTE="Bob Kinford, post: 1675933, member: 1599"] #4....Today's young registered bulls are actually proven by the time they are two through extensive AI programs. Composite breeds begin as crossbred, but develop over time into the composite breed. I worked for Leachman Cattle Company back when they were starting their Balancer and Stabilizer breeds (and spent over two years with the nucleus herd the Stabilizers were developed from.) The man who started the Black Maximizer Cattle spent years developing that four breed composite through embryo transplants. The uniformity of those breeds is absolutely amazing and a testament to what can be done with intense, selective breeding. As Jim Leachman used to say "There is as much genetic diversity within any breed of cattle as there are between any two breeds." The whole trick is in selecting for what you really need over what fad breeders are telling you to want. [/QUOTE]
