[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1461568, member: 12607"] The white SH bull is: SRV QUIET MAN, ASA# 4233956. He's a Tibial Hemimelia carrier Not a 'heifer ' bull, but not a horrible CE/BW deal. Just kinda 'middle of the road' for the rest of his epd profile; right around breed average for most traits. We've been using some solid red Shorthorn sires over some of our higher-% Angus cows for the past 7-8 yrs. No whites or roans...I get smacked hard enough on the occasional red or RWM steer... but I'm a 'red cow' guy at heart, and like the red/rwm heifers when I get 'em. I know just about enough about SH to be dangerous... most of what I see behind him is 'showring' stuff... I don't recognize a whole lot of 'commercially-oriented' stuff up close in his 4-generation pedigree. 30 years ago, when we were raising a bunch of Holstein calves, I got a couple of roan heifers - one red, one blue - from dairy clients who also had a Shorthorn herd, and ran a Shorthorn bull for cleanup behind AI on their Holstein herd. Those two sure were pretty... [/QUOTE]
