I don't mean to sound stupid or ask a stupid question, but in a lot of my research I seem to come back to one question, and I can't find an answer for it. When setting up a crossbreeding program, does it matter which parent is which? For example, if you wanted to breed an Angus to a Charolais (not my plan, just an example), would it matter if it was an Angus bull on a Charolais cow or a Charolais Bull on an Angus cow?
I know is some extreme examples with hybrid species, (wolf/coyote, some poultry species, and increased success with bovid hybrids) it seems to make a difference with successful breeding's, but what about inheritability in crossbreds?
Any knowledge or experience in this matter would be greatly appreciated! I hope you have a wonderful day! (And stay healthy amidst this coronavirus pandemic!)
