[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 365836, member: 6198"] first of, Good luck! I'm sure you will do well what ever you decide on the breed. We too though of adding shorthorn to our herd. But we were discouraged by our local ag office becasue the spots shorthorns throw decrease the price at the auction mart. He didn't really discourage us but rather gave us some of the cons of shorthorn. My husband bought his father's herd. it was a mixed bag of simmental, herford, charolais, angus, holstien and i'm not sure what else. We bred these cows to red and black angus bulls depending on the dams colour. Now we have a predomintaly red and black herd. My husband loves the black baldies. Our preference is to stay angus becasue of the calving ease. Our cows are quiet (fired the wild ones). That is just us. there are many more guys on this site with alot better advice than i. Good luck in your new venture. Oh yeah keep in mind any animal you buy, make sure it is vaccinated and findout the herd health. [/QUOTE]
