[QUOTE="Aussie27, post: 1652285, member: 41062"] Great to see some people on this forum raising Shorthorns. We are raising Shorthorns here in Australia. We are doing 2 breed rotational cross breeding with Shorthorn and Maine-Anjou. Shorthorns are quite popular here. They don’t have as much of the market share as Angus but they are very common. We don’t really get docked for Shorthorns here if they have roan on them. And I’m in Angus country here. Back in the day Blue roan Shorthorn Angus crosses were the highest value cattle in the sale yards here. Now Speckle Park are taking some market share from Angus. Speckle Park will be 10c/kg more then Angus Shorthorns will be about 5c/kg less then Angus. We recently purchased a new Shorthorn bull. I am very happy with him he is 1150kg. We sell our beef on farm so sale yard prices don’t affect us. [/QUOTE]
