[QUOTE="turning grass into beef, post: 855582, member: 5195"] Stocker Steve; I just noticed that you asked about semen available through Genex. Lucky_P got it right, lots of Maine influence in the only shorthorn bull that I could find on their website. If you are interested in shorthorn Genetics that don't have any appendix blood, a couple of options come to mind right of the top of my head. We have semen available on Saskvalley Ramrod 155R (pictured below) availble in the U.S.(I realize that this is a shameless plug for our bull :D ). [url=http://ranchers.net/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/10291][img]http://ranchers.net/photopost/data/503/medium/Ramrod3.JPG[/img][/url] Another options is Muridale Shorthorns ([url=http://www.muridale.com]http://www.muridale.com[/url]). I think they have semen on some of their bulls available in the U.S. Check out their website. If you like the look of the bull on the front page of our Website, semen may be available on him in the U.S. as well. We sold him to a guy in Indiana. To answer your original question about why shorthorns are not more popular I will give you one reason. Remember this is only my opinion and it is given free of charge, so take it for what it is worth ;-) . I think people have seen the type of shorthorns that are brought out to shows and they feel that if all shorthorns are like that then they don't want to raise shorthorns. Thankfully not all shorthorns are like what you see at the shows. P.S. I have been told that shorthorn shows in Canada are quite differen that those in the U.S. [/QUOTE]
