[QUOTE="Coco Donatella, post: 978932, member: 19754"] According to the site you quote: "[i]As explained, the Milking Shorthorn is not a separate and distinct breed, but rather a segment of the Shorthorn breed. The pedigrees of both the Milking Shorthorn and the scotch Shorthorn trace to the same foundation animals if carried to breed origin. [/i]" They are branches off the same tree. As far as the "shorthorn" bull you bred to your cattle: [url=http://www.albc-usa.org/cpl/milkingshorthorn.html]http://www.albc-usa.org/cpl/milkingshorthorn.html[/url] "Another factor in the decline of the Milking Shorthorn has occurred more recently. In an effort to increase milk production, the breed’s herdbook has been opened to substantial introduction of outside blood, first from Illawara (Australian Shorthorn) and then Red and White Holstein. Today, many of the bulls registered as Milking Shorthorn are actually onehalf or more Holstein. While these introductions did increase production, they also reduced the breed’s genetic uniqueness." I am not saying that they dont have there purpose but the poster is wanting to increase beef production. She asked for opinions and in my opinion she needs to look to another breed to reach her goal.
