2) Maybe someone will post grown cows and bulls.
How hard is it to locate a solid colored bull or cow?

There is a guy here in Georgia that advertises Shorthorn bulls in the Market Bulletin every week and has for years. I don't know him or his cattle, but you could call him. Here is the link to the Cattle for Sale page of the Ga. market bulletin. The guy's name is Ken Bridges. His ad is about halfway down the page and starts with the words "Calving ease". Nicholson, GA, is about 10 miles north of Athens, just off I-85, about 75 minutes northeast of Atlanta.

Aero":28s39rtw said:1) on average, how good is the udder conformation on most Shorthorns?
2) what are Shorthorns known for not being good at?
3) when bred to a red Limousin, what kind of colors should be expected? will a black Angus bull turn the roan into a solid coat?
