[QUOTE="shortybreeder, post: 1104115, member: 21626"] Are your shorthorns registered or crossbred? It could be difficult to find a red angus that would cross well with a shorthorn and stand a fighting chance in the commercial rings. My suggestion would be to pick out 2 or 3 that you think would do well showing (basically pick one cow per showperson in the family) and breed those to a good showy bull and breed the rest to a good maternally oriented bull for growing the commercial herd. That would make bull decisions much easier, and after a few years it will help you decide which avenue you'd rather go. [/QUOTE]
