Curtis Mast, extension project leader for animal science at Tech, said that in the beginning at Front Royal, Angus and Shorthorn herds were set up to form four inbred lines in each breed. In addition, in each breed, one herd was also selected for conformation alone and one herd was selected for growth alone. Outside cattle have been added to both these herds in both breeds. The inbred lines will be used for future crossbreeding work to see if hybrid vigor, similar to that seen in corn, will express itself in cattle, said Mast. He also said that it is interesting to see the differences as they have expressed themselves in the various herds from different methods of section/, , ' efti'tf't.
