I notice a lot of people on this website posting information, questions, pictures, etc regarding shorthorn cattle. A little over a week ago we bought my son and daughter another show heifer. This will be the first time we show a Pureblood Shorthorn (sired by Starburst) and a Shorthorn Plus/Influence heifer (sired by MAB and Double Stuff). We are planning to go to a show in three weeks and I can't wait to see how they do at their first show. I would appreciate your comments on our two Shorthorn show heifers.
(UPDATE)Thoughts On Our First Shorthorn and Shorthorn Plus Show Heifers

Nice set of heifers (clapping)
Thank you for replying and positive comments. We brought them home last Tuesday and have given them a week off since they were worked so hard to get ready for the sale. I'm looking forward to my kids working on them tonight for the first time.

Another ''very nice'' here. Good luck with them.
Well we took our two new heifers to the AGR in Stillwater this past weekend. Our pureblood shorthorn looked very green compared to the ones that beat her but the whole experience did the showman and heifer some good. The shorthorn plus showed very well for my daughter and the judge in ring one really liked her and she won her class. During the breed drive the judge decided he had to put his hands on her to make sure she was legit and not a hairball. After feeling her and a couple other older heifers he picked us for breed champion and commented that this heifer is for real. My daughter was super excited. During the grand drive the ring one judge surprised us all because he commented that he disagreed with the other judge on not selecting her for breed champion (got res champ in ring 2). We didn't win anything else but all and all it was a good long day. I will try to get a pic uploaded soon.
