It is FAR more dangerous to inbreed cattle than to crossbreed them. Inbreeding exposes genetic abnormalities that would only be exposed if a hetero cow was crossed with a hetero bull for a particular genetic abnormality. Inbreeding is only done if you are mating siblings, daughter to sire, son to dam, cousins, son to granddam, daughter to grandsire, etc. It can also kill your herd as far as productivity is concerned because the more you inbreed, the worse-quality your cattles' offspring will be.
Crossbreeding on the other hand, occurs when you breed a different breed a bull to a breed of cow: for instance, breeding a Black Angus bull to a Hereford cow. The offspring that comes with this cross is the exact opposite of inbreeding: you get a very vigorous, high-productive calf that will excel above either of his parent's breeding in the feedlot or in the breeding herd. Generally cross-bred animals live longer and are much better-quality than those breeds that it came from. If you want a herd with great-quality cattle, use cross-breeding.
cross breeding is taking two different breeds of animals, inbreeding takes the same breed of animals
cross breeding and inbreeding ayie.....tama yan
There are more than two, but two of them can be Monohybrid Cross (a cross involving one trait/gene from a single locus, and Dihybrid Cross (a cross involving 2 traits/genes occupying two different loci
Local cattle breeds are much more easily attainable than those that are not local.
This is an example of interspecies hybridization. The resulting animal may be called a beefalo, a catalo or some other combination of "buffalo" and "cattle" or "beef".
it counts only to cross breeding, in my opinion.

Cross Breeding
Cross breeding is simply taking two breeds of animals and mating them together (Such as a Charolais crossed with a Hereford). Where selective breeding is selecting the what two animals you want bred together to produce a better animal.
Ligers are hybrids and the result of captive breeding. They are the offspring produced from cross breeding a male lion with a female tiger.
Cross breeding means the production of an organism by mating two different species, breeds or varieties together. It can also be referred to as hybridization.
The results of a cross breeding are no longer pedigreed.
