[QUOTE="turning grass into beef, post: 295367, member: 5195"] I have never set foot on a purebred shorthorn operation in the U.S.A. but have heard through the grapevine that the people that are active in the association are more interested in showing than raising beef. This is 2nd hand information at best so take it for what it is worth. That being said I would find it hard to believe that [b]every single person [/b]in the U.S.A. that breeds shorthorn cattle only cares about the showring. I would think that it may take some digging but a person should be able to find quality shorthorn cattle (or any breed for that matter) that will work in a crossbreeding program. Here in Canada I do believe that there are shorthorn breeders (ourselves included) that focus on raising cattle that will thrive in our harsh climate and with minimal supervision. By far the majority of our bull customers are commercial cattlemen and really don't care what is popular in the showring. [/QUOTE]
