F1 is the result of crossing to pure breeds, i.e Angus x Gelbvieh, Hereford x Angus, etc. F2 is the reslut of mating 2 identical breed composition F1sT_Brown_":1j18db0w said:One more, F1?

Mmmm, never heard that one. :lol2:
T_Brown_":1qhdamb6 said:Dun, thanks. So if I breed a pure bred angus to a pure bred simmental the offspring is a F1? Then what is considered an identical breed composition to that offspring to make the F2?
Thanks
MShaffer":1rnibuq8 said:Here are a few terms used on the board that I don't understand:
a tad pinched in the heart girth
Heart girth is the area right behind the front legs.
Every one of his young bulls appeared to be thick and deep
Deep bodied. Thick through the loin/back.
nice spring to her rib
Viewed from the rear, ribs should appear to "spring" out, giving her rounded vs. flat sides.
I am surprised in the lack of rib and depth
Same as above. Flat sided and shallow.
a little short-rumped from hooks to pins
You want a long, level rear. Hooks (hip bones) to Pins (right in front of tail head)
he is post legged in the back end
Not enough set in the hocks. Legs are straight like a post.
appears to be cut-up in the flank

Thanks again
Let me define that one for you.Worthless - Of or without value
