[QUOTE="2/B or not 2/B, post: 675658, member: 7233"] Is anyone else out there breeding RA/Shorthorn crosses? Our goal is just to have some nice F1 cows, but so far we can only find one or the other so we're making our own. The RA are not hard to find but the Shorthorns have been a different story. They're around, but they're used as show cattle and the breeding standards seem quite different. One example is that high bw and pulled calves are acceptable or even normal. And if there is a big name somewhere in the pedigree, the prices are ridiculous. This heifer is 9 mos. old and weighed 89 lbs. at birth. Is this what you'd call "open shouldered?" They look knobby, large and wideset to me... [img]http://www1.picturepush.com/photo/a/1932869/img/1932869.jpg[/img] [img]http://www4.picturepush.com/photo/a/1932942/img/1932942.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
