[QUOTE="R.N.Reed, post: 584341, member: 7458"] Like all breeds there is variation in the feeding ability of the different bloodlines of Shorthorns.Cattle that I have fed will typicaly grade 60 to 75% choice at 15 mo.I have talked with other breeders with similar bloodlines that have had the same results.Feed efficiency and tenderness are also traits that the classic Shorthorn is known for.I am developing a bull calf for herd sire duty whose sire was born in 1969 and his dam is linebred to a sire born in 1978.For what its worth the sire of this calf has some phenominal carcass numbers for REA,Backfat,and marbling with some of the highest accuracies in the breed to this day.
