[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1744670, member: 40587"] What 2 parents would you use, to get a 5/8ths Hereford 3/8ths Brahma, which is what a Braford is? Or in this case, what 2 would you use to get a 5/8ths Black hereford 3/8ths Brahma, which is what a Black Braford would be? It took at least 4 generations to get the stable, new composite breed, when Brangus, Braford, Santa Gertrudis, etc were developed. You breed your Bos Taurus to a Brahma..f1. Then you breed the f1s back to the Bos taurus, and get 3/4ths bos taurus and 1/4 brahma f2s. Then you cross the f1s and f2s to get the 5/8ths/3/8ths composite... f3. You then breed the f3s to each other for a generation or 2. Someone posted on this board.... either Caustic or Brute... that it takes 7 generations to get the new breed with its own genetics.
