[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1766004, member: 12607"] tex452, I like them too, and we used several solid red Shorthorn sires for several years - steers were as good as any we ever produced, daughters of some were great... others - particularly those sired by some high WW/YW sires... were a bust - kinda like any other breed. IMO, they definitely have a place in a commercial crossbreeding program - but you've gotta have 'the right kind'... and in today's world, those are harder to find. Two trusted friends who'd grown up in the Shorthorn breed cautioned me that there are 'two worlds' in the Shorthorn breed... the hairy, high-birthweight types for the showring, and commercially-oriented cattle... and there was little crossover between the two worlds. While roans, like the one you've pictured, are great to look at, IMO, if you ran calves looking like that through any salebarn in this part of the world... you'd lose your pants. [/QUOTE]
