Calculating breed percentages in offspring is really very simple.First,convert the breed percentages of both parents to EIGHTHS.
Sire:3/4 (6/8) Anglo                             Dam:3/4(6/8) Boer
      1/4 (2/8) Boer                                     1/4(2/8) Anglo
Then divide each of these percentages in half to get.
Sire:3/8 Anglo                                     Dam:3/8 Boer
      1/8 Boer                                             1/8 Anglo
Add the percentages together to get an offspring that is.
1/2 (4/8) Anglo
1/2 (4/8) Boer   

Three Way Cross:
Sire:3/4 (6/8) Boer                              Dam:2/8 Anglo
      1/4 (2/8) native                                  2/8  Boer
Divide each percentage in half,and you get
Sire:3/8 Boer                                      Dam:2/8 Anglo
      1/8 native                                           2/8 Boer
The offspring is the total of these percentages.
5/8 Boer
1/8 Native
1/4 Anglo
