I remember someone asked on here a few years ago who the top 10 shorthorn bulls of all time were. The 27C bull was mentioned a few times, JIT was very high on him I believe. He is an outcross to all of the "popular" shorthorn sires down here. We had a cow bred by Carl Venable that we wanted to flush to 27C, but unfortunately she was injured at 13 getting rode by another cow when she came in heat and had to be put down.
We got 4 embryos from her and Vortec, down to 3 as the first one didn't take. Expecting a calf from that mating in August. We are hoping that mating will really work, and it's a female! If so, we plan to flush the offspring of them to 27C.
Here are the pedigrees of Vortec and our cow.
