[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1850129, member: 42463"] You can breed your f1s to an American bison or a water buffalo if you want to. But it won't guarantee you anything unless you have a market for what you get. And Beefmaster crossed with what you have in the picture will result in a conglomeration of visual delight... but some pretty heavy discounts at the point of sale. Beefmaster are the most inconsistent breed there is. Some are short legged, long, beefy, short eared, spotted, and brockle faced... and others are long legged, solid coat, floppy eared, lightly muscled... and there is everything in between. With the right phenotype bull you might get some damn fine calves, but that's only a maybe. If you want calves that sell they need to be black (sadly), and that means a homozygous bull. You can choose between Angus, Simmental, or Limousine to put some muscle on and to take some ear off, which will significantly impact the check you take home in a positive way. It really comes down to whether you are in the business to make money... or to be an artist that doesn't give a damn about the money you make. Others have already mentioned these things and the big question is how much you want to take that advice to heart. [/QUOTE]
