SKF Show Cattle":2nzo5km8 said:To be safe I would not use a shorthorn on a heifer. Use an angus bull for the first calf and once you have a live calf use a shorthorn the next time. We have shorthorns and even when their calves weigh the same as our angus calves they are bigger built. Which causes more calving problems. Goal with a heifer is a live, healthy, and unassisted calf.
