Looking for some slick haired Shorthorns. Anybody seen any?
Not since the early '70's. The Amer. Shorthorn Assoc is actually looking for them also. Seems they know they have lost it trying to make the breed into "Show Freeks" with that long hair and extreme phenotype. If a breeder had some old polled or horned cattle before the dairy Shorthorn and other breeds ruined the breed- he could be sitting on easy street with the semen sales from those cattle!Tod Dague":2verwlwj said:Looking for some slick haired Shorthorns.

Call Me ignorant, but the Milking Shorthorn is a very old breed. Even if they were a part of the same herd book, the dairy strain had been bred seperately, how does that ruin the breed?

They've been selected for totally different characteristics. Milk rather then muscle. You would end up loosing a lot of yield grade and also add way too much milk
