[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 4932"] Supposedly you will loose heterosis within severl generations with composites, at which time it's just like straight breeding again. I'm sure no mathametician (hell I can't even spell it) so all those wonderfull formulas don't do me any good. Somewhere around here I have a chart that shows the various levels of heterosis for percentages of breeds within a cross. Can't find it, looked all over, one of these days it will pop up when I'm looking for something else. If/when it does I'll post it. dun > this is interesting... i am like > delaGarza.. i would have thought > you would retain the vigor... an > f1 is an f1 is an f1... like a > brangus is a brangus... and people > will tell you they run brangus > cattle to have that hybrid > vigor... > i guess then, you only have hybrid > vigor at its best on the first > generation. somewhere down the > line it then becomes a breed and > loses its vigor, i guess. > gene [/QUOTE]
