calves will normally have the
following advantages over
straightbred calves by the same
sires: Survival rate - 3%; growth
rate - 5%.
The crossbred female will
have the following advantages
over straightbred females:
1. reaches puberty 30 days
earlier;
2. conceives earlier in the
breeding season;
3. weans 7% -more calves; and
4. weans calves 6% heavier.
The total advantage of using
a crossbred female will amount
to 40-15%. When this is com-
bined with the 5% advantage in
growth rate from using a third
breed on _the crossbred female,
a total advantage in producti-
vity in the beef her d of 15-
20% will result. To make use
of this heterosis a three-breep
crossing program must ,be used.
Two alternatives exist:
1. purchase the herd replace-
ments; and '
2. breed the replacements.
In purchasing the replace-
ment females:
1. select the three breeds you
wish to use;
2. locate a reliable source of
crossbred A x B heifers and
gradually replace the existing
cow herd with the purchased
replacement; and
3.,mate the A x b crossbred
heifers 'continually to bulls
of breed C. Market all of
the calves and Continue to.
purchase replacement A x B
heifers and C bulls.

The cow-calf business in On-
tario is characterized by small,
inefficient units that are usually
the second or thirdenterprise in
a farm operation. The fact that
these units are small can be
accepted in light of such things
as high land value which de-
mands intensive production and
the merit in having secondary
or tertiary farm enterprises to
make maximum use of the crop-
ping program. However, the fact
that many cow-calf units are
inefficient. or unprofitable is
completely unnecessary. For the
past hundred years tradition has
dictated that beef breeds are
sacred and that the only way a
person should go about breeding
beef' animals is to mate like
to like. If it is stipulated that'
a breed be, defined on a basis "
,other than color' of hair and
hide, ;low should it be done?
These traditional` concepts must
be challenged by the modern
farm society.
In addition to being charac-
terized by uniformity of hair
color and ,fat cover, the beef
cow is low in reprodUctive per-
formance. A program of cross-
breeding can solve the two grea-
test problems of the traditional
beef cow herd, low fertility, and
low productivity. Cross breeding
takes advantage of two factors
in solving these problems:
1. making use of hybrid vigor

constitutes the three-way
cross product. Selected C x
AB heifers are mated back
to breed A and the cycle re-
peated.
This alternative requires a
large. breeding herd, three bree-
ding pastures and identification of
all cows and replacement heifers
to indicate their correct brOe-
ding group.
Selecting Breeds for
Crossing:
There are many variations
of a three-breed crossing pro-
gram. However, the essential
principles are that the cross-
bred females come from breeds
high in fertility and m liking abi-
lity, with the breed for the final
cross being high in gainability
and • cutability. It should be re-
membered thatthe final cross
contributes 50% to that cross.
Gainability and cutability in the
final cross, would suggest 'that
meat-type breeds be, used such
aS Charolats, Simmental, Li- ,
mousin, etc. Such a cross may,
however; introduce calving prob-
lems.
Crossbred bulls, where the
meat-type breeds contribute at
%least half to the cross, may
'eliminate the calving' problem.
In addition, crossbred bulls, like
crossbred females, • are higher
in reproductive performance,
produce more semen, and are
more act i.ve sexually. Once the
breeds or 'crosses have been
decided upon, performance re-
cords should be the main factor
in selecting both the replace-
ment females and the breeding
bull.
Crossbreeding can contribute
to the profitability of cow-calf
operations. However, it is not
meant as a substitute for .poor
management. Area beef cattle
specialists are available for con-
sultation on establishing cross-
breeding programs.
