I was looking at a heifer today that was sired by optimus prime and out of an I 80 dam.  Curious what people think about the cross?  as far as genetics later down the road as a cow?  She is a little short right now but has some power.  Not really worried about the show aspect as much as the end product of being a cow?

Thanks just curious of what I should either watch out for or what?
Just trying to get a grasp on different breeding crosses.

We love everything we have had out of OP.  Used an OP son last year as a clean up, we liked him so well.  Just look at Jones' herd, he has kept a lot of the OP's as cows.  They still have his mom and she is one hell of a cow.  Coupled with the I-80/Ali genetics I would say it would be a good mating.  Have had several OP x Who Da Man's and they were good. Steer, bull, heifer or cow I think there is value in that pedigree.
