For the big payoff on that potential big money champion. But not all shorthorn breeders have that bug. Many still breed for super momma cows,calving ease, mother ability & milk production which produces top weaning weights. EPD's are very important. As well as carcass and tenderness data. Yes, there are still some good Shorthorns out here. Just not as many herds as once was. Hopefully some other cattleman may like and find just what they need.
