Re: The Next Great Cross

I think the 845 x 846 will produce better than 723 x 846 in my opinion( such has the 1260 Weir so far)  just an opinion tho, And watch out for those 845 x 723, those will be good!

a 1,301.5 pounder grown by Al himself. So I think 723/846
crosses can create a little magic. However, the 845 Bobier
produced 9 thousand pounders this year, so I think we will see
alot more action from 845 crosses in coming years...
