[QUOTE="SBMF 2015, post: 1724564, member: 39695"] If you decide to use A.I. You could A.I. Red Angus then lease a bull of a different breed to clean up. When you cross two pure bred animals the off spring is a First Cross (F1). F1's naturally have hybred vigor. Also called Heterosis: the tendency of a crossbred individual to show qualities superior to those of both parents.Also called [URL='https://www.bing.com/search?q=define+hybrid+vigor']hybrid vigor[/URL]. F1's usually have heavier birth weights, and more growth than pure breds. Besides my own cows, I'm Herdsmen for a farm that feed out cattle for a living. Their cow herd is black Angus based and they use Charolais bulls with a Hereford thrown in every few years. We get heavier finishing weights because of the Charolais influence and better quality & marbling because of the Angus. [/QUOTE]
