1luddite - 9/2/2014 19:30 I thought that hybrid vigour came from crossbreeding. If you use say a Simm x Angus bull on Simm x Angus females you aren't crossbreeding any more and your hybrid vigour is out the window .
No, that is wrong. A SimAngus bull (crossbred animal) on a SimAngus cow (crossbred animal) MAINTAINS the heterosis with a SimAngus calf (crossbred animal). Nothing is out the window!
