[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1181097, member: 9096"] Agreed they should be solid red, and pay attention to the build of the bull, make sure he's meaty... I think SH's are a little slower to finish, and need to be backgrounded a little longer until they finish growing skeletally before they'll put a lot of weight on. SH's can be temperamental as well, I've heard them called "petty", they'll fight over anything. For the most part they've been good mothers, and many were good producers... I've had a couple 1/2 and 3/4 SH's that never could raise a decent calf either, and the strangest thing is they were from the best mothers... go figure. I wouldn't be concerned about a small amount of white, but if they throw a lot of roan, a lot of buyers will think longhorn and you'll take a hit at a sale barn... Also, if you keep replacements from this bull you can get funny markings for generations.. really hard to knock the chrome off them. [/QUOTE]
