[QUOTE="Durham Reds, post: 612192, member: 3535"] Thanks for the comments. Bucking the black tide of popularity can be a bit discouraging at times! It has been gratifying to see though that people are "rediscovering" the benefits of British x British mama cows bred to a terminal sire. Time after time I hear from ranchers that their Granddad, or Uncle, or Dad had Shorthorn cows. "He used to say they were the best cows he ever had!" We have selected for solid red Shorthorns in order to overcome the "color" issue some that some folks find objectionable with this breed. Personally, I don't think there's anything prettier than a roan hide! Nesikep, that "white ring" seems to be a seasonal thing much like our Jackrabbits or your Arctic Fox. It only appears in winter. It seems to be most prevelent on our "easier keeping" cows! [/QUOTE]
