[QUOTE="CattleAnnie, post: 30218, member: 220"] For what it's worth, I've got some shorthorn x angus & horned hereford cows that are really topnotch mothers. Mind you this is a commercial herd, but those little brockle faced roans can really raise a good 'soggy' calf by fall. I also appreciate the disposition of them, as they are very docile. God only knows what their actual percentage of shorthorn is, as they've come from various herd dispersals, but I'd love to have a few dozen more of them. Not very large framed (shorter legged yet still thick bodied), but when crossed with a Simmental or Char bull, you get an awesome terminal animal. The only downside of these animals is that due to the shorter leg and abundance of milk, they have a tendancy for dirty udders in the spring when the frost is coming out and the gumbo is thick. Take care. [/QUOTE]
