[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1626751, member: 24816"] I would not advise against a bull of that cross if that fit the need. Just my opinion hybrid vigor is real but but hard to quantify. Those two breeds together would not necessarily scare me to breed heifers to IF they were of adequate size and if the bull was from lines of cattle with a known history for calving ease. I made the comment that most would be against the idea of a crossbred bull of those breeds because it seems folks either are sold on purebred bulls with all the bells and whistles so to speak or some have embraced certain crosses that involve British X Continental breeds. To me those B x C crosses would result in more lack of uniformity and overall predictability than a British x British cross would. [/QUOTE]
