I agree that adding the term outcross is the best way to label first generation outcrosses to non-Stillwater bulls.
I don't think that calling outcrosses just "hypo" would be accurate because this would not differentiate this line of hypo morph from the other line of hypo morphs.
It would be great if the hypo trait was labeled as one thing, say "Ginter Hypo". So a Stillwater hypo would be a Stillwater Ginter Hypo and an outcross to a Lubbock TX Red would be a Lubbock TX Red X Stillwater Ginter Hypo. Unfortunately I did not discover the morph and the original name must be recognized and respected.
Incidentally I have a Stillwater Hypo x Lubbock TX Red outcross and a pure Stillwater Hypo. So when I breed these I will probably call the offspring 25% Lubbock TX Red 75% Stillwater Hypos.
