[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1605661, member: 968"] elkwc - I can't find the research - but, modern Angus has the heaviest mature cow (I listed this research on a thread, maybe last month) - Hereford bulls are harder calving than Simmental - and there is tons of research showing best heterosis is Continental x British. Granted the modern Continentals are not as drastic a cross as they used to be, because we have modernized their muscle pattern on all the breeds so that they are not the big bubble butt/heavy muscled they used to be. Your home comparison is fact - but too small a scale to prove anything. Your walking Angus bulls may have been superior to your neighbors Simmental bulls (AI or walking). And, did he use PB or % Simmentals? Best heterosis is getting genetics as far away from each other - Bos Taurus x Bos Indicus is the BEST heterosis. But, discounts on the offspring may offset the benefits??? [/QUOTE]
