I believe it was part of a larger body of work that they were doing on multiple beef breeds. I assume your copy is the same pdf file that I downloaded. I knew of the study and had to do a google search to find it several years ago, but I don't think my copy came from the Lincoln Red newsletter. I might have found it in a conference proceedings.

I have seen some of the Lincoln Red cows at Jim Murray's herd and a few in Dennis Hoffrogge's herd. They definitely have something to offer in a breeding program. They are a dark cherry red and many of them have lots of volume. That's probably not a big enough sample size to make a bold statement, but I do have a half Lincoln Red daughter that I bought from Dennis, and I love her volume and rib shape. She was crossed with a beautiful uddered Haumont cow, and her udder is darn near perfect too. Unfortunately, she keeps having bull calves.

I'm still working on Galloway Shorthorn crosses. Thanks for the research help. I'm going to use this bull next year, x4253260. 50% Lincoln Red 50% Native, along with a real beefy Galloway Synthetic Minn Max son.

There are crossbred cattle that are purer than non-asterick purebred Shorthorns. Now with dna technology the funny stuff will probably be curtailed.

Some commercial cattle, certainly, are genetically purer than some registered purebreds....but crossbred cattle are impure by definition. One may say a crossbreed individual is more true to purpose or type than a purebred individual...but that is just weighted recombination. Or, so I think. Improvement either comes from concentrating desired breed traits or by combining complementary breed traits. I just believe one can do both.
