Subject: Re: Lets Talk Black Baldy Cow Breeding, Give Me Your Opinions



To clear up your breeding question, the super baldy calves you are talking about would be an F2 cross. First cross (F1) is the purebred (Shorthorn) x purebred (Herf) mating. Your second cross would be known as an F2, the (HerfxShort) x (Angus) mating.

If I remember what I learned of heterosis, it's generally maximized at the F2 cross with additional very small gains after that cross.
