Thanks for sharing! Is that tall circular structure with the red/white top a grain silo? I can't say as I've ever seen anything except for grain bins, thats why I'm asking. Is that you behind the brown or red/white heifer? What's the story behind the trailer? Thanks!

she looks like a shorthorn but her butt looks awfully dairyish. i wonder if shes a milking shorthorn?

 

[glover36]

lol you are very correct milking shorthorn came reserve grand at the show, we were suprised at how well she placed but she did good because the judge was a holstien judge and doesnt know shorthorns, the wagon we had just finished painting it ( being cooped up in a shop for 10 hours with paint humes will affect you lol) and the two tall round figures are corn silage or halage silos that things in them that throw the silage out a trap door and are fed by an augure and cows eat right went its coming out

these types of cattle are called Dairy Shorthorns here in Australia. There is only one Royal Show that still has classes for them. Melbourne Royal. There are not many breeders left in Australia.

 

[glover36]

not many left here either we only have one show for them, shes chained up in a calf hutch

 

[Australian Cattleman]

They would be a very good breed to cross anything over I would imagine. You'd get plenty of milk.
