[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 188431, member: 2862"] <chuckle> I too hope we don't see that same cycle, however many of the Shorthorn breeders that I'm familiar with out west are breeding with an eye on the commercial aspect of the animal. While I like those PB Shorties, and wouldn't have another breed on the place as far as PBs go, I belive the _real_ value of a Shorthorn is in crossbreeding. I've got some Angus/Shortie and Simm/Shortie cross cows that are second to none for high growth and feed efficiency. Many other PB Shorthorn breeders feel the same way, and thats they way the animals are being marketted. Hopefully this keeps us away from the old ruts, and also keeps the flashy junk genetics away.
