What a beautiful heifer. No matter what breed each of us fancy, anyone would have to say she's a winner.

Yeah but this one was stunning at SA too. The more I look the more I find some really good sires. Not an easy task to pick.

I know- I've always preferred her to the other one, she's more balanced and complete IMO.
I have a few ideas who to use but just not sure yet. I'd love to be able to show her with a calf at foot.

Thanks Colin. I've always (quietly) thought so but didn't want to get my hopes up. Everyone keep praising her the days before judging but you never know which way it will go in the judging ring. I'm just pleased she finally got what I think she deserved!

Yes. I found her very balanced as well. Best of luck.
Oh they just created a class at Perth for Shorthorns so hopefully we'll be seeing some more there. One of the Ag colleges has started breeding them so they requested the class. I think they bought a few from Neearra.

I saw a few Shorthorn at Perth when I was there a few years ago for National Paraders - think it was 06? - anyway it was only a few and from a small breeder.
It's a shame you don't see more there, there's a few good herds in WA. We bought a complete herd from WA when I was still at my old job in SA - they were a good line of cows and have since bred on really well.

I'm going to try and get down to the state sale for a look I think it's in Feb. I see the average for females there is like $1300 and as you say there is some good stock. I finished showing for the school in 05 so I'm not sure either. 06 sounds right though because I remember people were thinking "great, if we win 05 paraders we get to compete in Perth again." :lol2:

Since when are shorthorns white? Looks a lot like a Char!

hmmm, since the breed originated, due to incomplete dominance you got red, white or roan.
