[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 965238, member: 968"] What people are trying to say - is with a crossbred bull - what you SEE, might not be what he passes on. His phenotype might favor one breed, but he is carrying genes from both breeds & may pass more of one breed characteristics than the other to one calf & the other breed to the next one. But, IF both parents were exceptional for several generations - and the same TYPE, than he should only possess good genes to pass on to his offspring. This is true for a purebred animal. You want to SEE the parents. One might be exceptional and the other might be a "dog". Their offspring might LOOK like the exceptional parent, but possesses the genes of the "dog" and they will come back to bite you. Like right now, Simm x Angus bulls (50/50) are really a hot item. But, the ones that bring the money are out of top genetics from both sides. [/QUOTE]
