I want a short horn bull to put on some really good limo cows. I am looking to buy a bull not a.i. I need a bull that will square them up and  add some club calf look. I have not used a lot of short horn and need some advice on where to find a good bull. They must also be clean no th or pha. price is negotiable I know you get what you pay for and I want a good one. Looking for breeders or bull sales.suggestions? Thanks

Lmmi Shorthorn is a real cool cross-at least the ones I saw back in the day.Sales-probably the 2 BEST sales for GOOD Shorthorn bulls that arent TOO involved with political s#%%*()t  and will not kill youre cows are-1: Iowa Beef Expo 2: Ohio Beef Expo-I saw some calves at Jay Benhams in Ohio that are low Bw-thick square and go back to Okie Clubby-Mitch on here has a good bull calf,in Iowa although a little hier bW genetics- Brad Davis in Iowa had some really good calves-and had used a bull out of my breeding that has sired a BUNCH of calves in 3 states-they just havent registered many-but ALL low BW-Proven deal on Shorts,Maines,and X breds.His daughters are producing now-from a real clubby CE bull-lotsa color. If you decide upon a sale-or see something and can give me the breeding-I"ll give you the unbiased-and I know of pockets of real good honest cattle that arent in the fast lane-limelight. My partners have a hiefer bull whose EPDS are now getting where they should be-and with several green hiefers selling over $5000 last fall.-He was run so hard that he doesnt look like much-but he goes back to clubby and old maine-and having sired at least 50 calves-is proven low bw-and Hed work on limmies-not sure theyd sell him-but there may be a good calf O0

Where are you located and when do you want to use the bull? We will have 35-40 Shorthorn bulls in the Sun Country Shorthorn Sale March 10th at Moose Jaw, SK. We should have pictures on our websites by late January. The sale will also be broadcast live at www.cattleinmotion.com. This is a very thick made set of bulls. All moderate framed with moderate BWs. We will be delivering to a few locations in the Midwest US and only charge the actual costs involved. We can help arrange delivery to most anywhere.

We will put the bull in on April 15th and leave him in for 3 weeks and then pull him and put the limo bull in. I am in Utah.
