If you think that each parent always contribute equally to the expressed geneotype I would recommend you study some up to date genetics.
Actually, YOU said you could produce a Black Braford ( 5/8ths Hereford and 3/8th Brahma) with 2 parents. I asked you what 2 parents and you said "a Brangus and a Hereford." I then explained very clearly how the Braford, Brangus, Santa Gertrudis etc, breeds were created. You can go back and read your 2 posts on page 1. No one said anything about super baldies. But yes, this breeder has 200 purebred Brangus cows that he breeds to Herefords for back baldies with a little ear. And 150 pb Brahma cows he breeds to Hereford and Black hereford bulls for f1 Hereford x brahmas, or f1 Brafords as some call them.
Uhhhh, you are making me dizzy. None of that gibberish made sense. A cross between an animal of one breed with an animal of another, gives you offspring that are 50% parent A, and 50% parent B. A 5/8ths/3/8ths cross comes from crossing an animal that is 50% parent A and 50% parent B, with an animal that is 75% parent A and 25% parent B.
no I didn't say that ..and I'm no where near a novice. .I said you can raise just a good a animal in one generation by breeding just two breed parents together with out jumping through hoops ,time and money,...anyway I thought you were still trying to concour the corriente
The gibberish is a called applied genetics. It's science. It is beneficial to many who want to learn the real world applied science. Not the theory or old wife's tales or mathematical equations of probability many call epds
Whew, when I get done with supper, I will go back and cut and paste what you said for you. Are you sure you are from Alabama and not Canada?!!!
No don't waste your time ,and especially mine I don't care ...
I am sure they do. !st brahmas to hit around here in the 60's were bulls, and people had those little hereford and Angus cows mostly. But even the ABBA advises you not use Brahma bulls on Hereford cows. Can make the bull calves enormous at birth. It would sure be less expensive to use British cows and Brahma bulls, than Brahma cows. Waqsnt it you that paosted that chart about heterosis that had that info on it? If not it must have been Caustic.
I can give you direction if you need themWhew, when I get done with supper, I will go back and cut and paste what you said for you. Are you sure you are from Alabama and not Canada?!!!
So have the breeders ..
Probably gotta start back hunting 150 cows again, though!!
Now don't you feel guilty for all that money you made putting them together?Moot point on the bulls now. The client I had that came out when I delivered the last cows to Wayne, that offered $2200 a head? He called Thursday and offered $2500 a head for the pairs, and $2200 for the ones yet to calve. Thursday 102 had calved, and some more did Fri and today. So, he told Wayne today: " Hell, they gonna all calve before I get them hauled, Let's just do $2500 a head , period"!! That's $375000....a $105000 profit!! $700 per cow! Now I don't have to fool with those designer bulls!
When he called me yesterday to tell me, he said me he was transferring money into my account. He said he felt it was only fair that we split the profit! I said: " Damn Wayne! That's $105k. No way I can accept $50k+_!!! How about 10%?" He said ok if that suited me. I actually didn't think he owed me anything, but I know him well enough to know there was no way he was going to let me take nothing. Well this morning in "pending", there was a $37.5k deposit. The man wants to pay me 10% of the whole $375k sale! I meant 10% of the $105k profit!Now don't you feel guilty for all that money you made putting them together?
