Crossbreeding could lift beef profits with small investment
Manitoba Agriculture expert Bob Bower outlines a plan forbeef producers to boost calf crops by crossbreeding. Aiming for eight percent more calves this fall, he notes hybrid vigor from two breeds and even a three way cross could yield a 20 to 25 percent increase in fall market weight.
