[QUOTE="glacierridge, post: 977551, member: 19539"] Nothing wrong with BB [b][i]CROSS[/i][/b]. We have had BB cross for almost 20 years, we've never had any problems with docility and we recognize the problems with calving which is why we cross them. We have tried several breeds to mix, we found for us the most efficient and effective calf for our farm is the American Simmental and BB. The cattle have a healthy balance and we've had several cross cows produce many years, being low maintenance, well framed and feed efficient. LF might benefit from crossing with a different breed though, since Simmental in Europe are massive cattle with high birth weights and not much calving ease to offer. As far as a terminal breed, I would never select anything but a heavily muscled breed such as BB. You get maximum hybrid vigor and great carcass yields. [/QUOTE]
