You'll have to explain this to me Gary I'm not
following:
"The best crosses for maintaining hybrid vigor yet
control over the seedstock are phenotypically similar
yet genetically diverse and those are hard to find
within purebred programs."
I assume you mean as an example that you would
want to start with a Hereford and an Angus that are
phenotypically similar? Surely they would
automatically be genetically diverse by the fact they
are two unrelated breeds? I also don't understand
what the "control over the seed stock" you speak of
is?
