[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 1570908, member: 694"] [b][/b] EPD’s have come a long way between breeds. My experience with Simmental and Brahman crosses and composites wasn’t good. This was back when Simms were red and white. I had more than my share of behemoth calves. Have to remember hybrid vigor starts at conception. Not all breeds compliment each other as well.The only bull I ever pulled more calves from was a Char. I have been virtually trouble free when using English bulls over Brahman influence cattle. There is actually some science behind English bulls suppressing BW without the hybrid growth. “From Dr. David Greg Riley TAMU. Brahman Hybrid Vigor F1 Brahman [b]Weaning rate increase[/b] with Hereford 20% Shorthorn 13% Angus 12.2% Charolais 7% ” [/QUOTE]
