The 531 Rahe female looks good with the 1370 Rose male as long as they don't share lineage-choose a female which is tall and round in shape with deep ribbing

Generally, choose a 1000 lb.+ male to cross with any un-related female with good characteristics such as rind thickness, height, and roundness. Looks like you have a good seed base. Research lineage to prevent close breeding.
