[QUOTE="Rmc, post: 1719613, member: 39072"] You get hybrid vigor from hetrosis. You can get hetrosis within the same breed and you can get very little hetrosis by crossing two different breeds. Hybrid vigor is great for a terminal cross but not great for multi generational consistency. If you want consistency you want the opposite, or homozygous. To say that breeds like the black Hereford are genetically a composite is pushing it. They can be every bit as inconsistent in offspring as a f1 or f2 Hereford/angus cross. I don’t care how good a bull looks ,if he is registered ,if he is the result of an out cross and has a lower inbred coefficient he isn’t going to pass on his desired traits at a high enough rate for me to be any more interested in using him then I would a non registered black baldy bull that is the result of a total outcross. Some times I think people put way to much focus on if he is registered. Rather then does he have the ability to pass on the desired traits I want in his offspring. DNA doesn’t care if it comes from a registered animal or not . The same scientific rules apply . [/QUOTE]
