[QUOTE="Nick Wagner, post: 1762174, member: 25329"] Yes they do all have hair, but around here it takes a winter coat to win in the ring and it seems shorthorns grow a better winter coat than any other breed, Scottish Highlanders excepted. So it seems what the shorthorns have to offer the industry is the ability to grow better hair. Maybe more of an indictment of the showring rather than of a breed, as our shows tend to be in July and August and it takes a cool room to grow winter hair when it’s ninety degrees outside. I would also note shorthorns fell out of favor long before CAB was born, grandpa said he quit raising shorthorns because a shorthorn steer brought two cents a pound less than a Hereford or an Angus.
