Outcrossing

[Prairie Ridge]

Newbie here! Bought 2 bred heifers last spring, my first cows. Raised on a large Angus farm, though. Anyway, I decided to go with registered American-British White Park. 2 great calves this spring! Our breed could use some rate-of-gain improvement. However, feed efficiency is outstanding. Anyone have a breed they would reccomend outcrossing to? Yea, yea, your breed, right?!!!! I have done quite a bit of research, so give me some reasons!!!
Thanks

I don't understand why you're looking to crossbreed if you "decided to go with registered American-British White Park." Can you register half bloods with that Assn?

As for recommendations, Angus, of course. If you look around you'll see more Angus being used in crossbreeding than any other single breed.

There is an outbreeding program, we can register as purebred in 3 or 4 generations. Can you expound on your answer?

Can you give more details on your answer?
