These calves didnt come out of the typical hardoing stringy Shorthorns that alot of the breed became-they are out of one of the stoutest group of cows Ive seen in pictures-and it would really be a shame to completely erace that influence-because you wont find them like that again.Id say get a relly good blue roan bull-and run them Short plus on both sides.BRAD DAVIS who bought your maine bull HAS HIM-IVE SEEN HIM-and the calves-none of which went over 68 or so pounds.P.S. Id love to use Young Money on one of those females when they get a little older. O0

They look awesome Linnette! It's hard to argue with the value of Shorthorn x Angus cross cattle but you gotta keep a certain percentage of Shorthorn base in there in my opinion.

They look very nice. What about a 3/4 bull to make 5/8 x 3/8.

Those are some pretty nice cattle.  Really like the base width on a few of those heifer calves. I'd personally breed them to a Charolais bull to complete the cycle.  Maybe even a black high stabilized % purebred Simmental would do the trick if you're looking for a black calf crop. 

Breeding 3/4 bulls to half blood cows to arrive at the 5/8 3/8 is what both Brangus and Santa Gertrudis both did.  Their success, though, should be attributed to the fact that they actually stabilized the cross at 5/8 3/8 before offering them as seed stock.
