I'm full of questions today, so here goes...
A guy told me that Shorthorns ARE NOT GOOD for beef sales, because he claims they have small, flat loins due to their dairy heritage. Keep in mind this is coming from a guy who makes his living trying to sell top quality cuts through restaurants and meat shops.
However, I have a hard time believing that the breed as a whole has inferior loin and ribeye measurements. Anyone have any input? Anyone have data on their crossbreds? Ultrasound data?
If you look at the Shorthorn herdbull that Diamond S posted earlier, you'd have a hard time arguing that boy has no loin in him. I don't know, tell me what ya think.
