[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 202947, member: 2862"] Frankie, you're right in that I haven't seen many US Shorthorns to match whats available in other countries. Thankfully, in Saskatchewan and Alberta (not sure about MB or ON), many, if not most Shorthorn breeders remained true to the beef Shorthorn breed, and continued to breed what I consider real beef animals. I've also seen some very nice examples in Australia, New Zealand, and Britain. When my PB herd gets a little bigger, I have every intention of importing some semen from some of these herds, especially the British herds where the Shorthorn animal is still a little more old fashioned with LOTS of volume. Sure, you'll find some pencil gutted or light muscled junk, but then, I can point to several Angus breeders within Saskatchewan who have done the same thing to their animals. As someone mentioned, some people shouldn't be breeding livestock. Just so y'all don;t think that the Aussies have cornered the market on good Shorthorns, a link to one of the better breeders in Canada (IMHO): [url=http://www.saskvalleyshorthorns.com/index.html]http://www.saskvalleyshorthorns.com/index.html[/url] Rod [/QUOTE]
