[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 1389779, member: 694"] This is a multifaceted question with a commercial cow herd there will be anomalies depending on the cross of the terminal calf. The most predictable will be on the F-1 calf the 3 way maximizes hybred vigor you have to remember it stars at conception not birth. After the 3 way cross you are getting too many crayons out of the box predictability and hybred vigor starts getting reduced. Lots of data from major Ag universities on the epd difference between Breeds.
