[QUOTE="BFE, post: 1452849, member: 28532"] Not trying to highjack, but I started a thread some time ago (as Clodhopper) about breeding linebred Herefords to linebred Angus in the hopes of creating some cows with an extra high level of heterosis. I have located and purchased some well bred Line One Herefords. I plan on building my numbers up with them, using their heifer calves to replace my various other cows when time to cull. The Wye Angus seems to be the line of Angus of choice. What do you all think? Would (or maybe should is the better term) the consistency of the two lines make a superior F1 cow, with extreme heterosis and the ability to pass this on to her offspring in the same way as her predecessors did, or do you think it would be a waste of good linebred genetics to cross them up?
