    Would you use a bull this colour??? New pics from CWA

    We've had a couple of real chrome jobs this year as well. We've steered them both. First calf (6A) is straight Shorthorn and the second one (8A) is 3/4 Shorthorn out of an f1  Short x Simm cow.

    Gestation in shorthorn cattle

    We've always used 9 months 10 days as a general rule of thumb. Seems to be pretty well right on although it will vary from one bull to another.

    Commercial Shorthorns

    Just thought I'd add another pic to the thread. Here's a Shorthorn sired calf (3 weeks old) standing next to his mom - a Simm x Short cow.

    2300 lb Angus Str (pics)

    You need to sharpen your pencil. Aussie paid $1568.18 for the steer not $3450. 2300 lbs. divided by 2.2 lbs to the kg equals 1045.4545 kg. 1045.4545 kg. x $1.50 = $1568.18

    Interesting reading on Sullivan flyer !!!!!

    Sorry, I thought it would be obvious that the weights were not adjusted weaning weights. They are the actual weights of the calves as they ran across the scales the day we took them off their mothers - the weights we would be paid on if there were a buyer there that day.

    Interesting reading on Sullivan flyer !!!!!

    Trevorgrey: Thought I'd put on paper what our Shorthorns did from last year's calf crop. First of all we do not creep feed our calves - what you see is done on moma's milk and grass only. 31 calves - all sired by our Shorthorn bull, Muridale Touchdown (a Saskvalley Bonanza son) out of Shorthorn...

    How young is too young?

    We have always bred our heifers to calve at 24 months of age. I know that some of you calve earlier than that so I was wondering....how young is too young? We have a couple of yearling heifers - good shape - and would like to breed them to calve around 21 to 22 months. Anyone had any difficulty...

    White Shorthorn females

    We've raised Shorthorns for going on 40 years now and have had our share of white females. We have two white cows in our herd at the present time. In those 40 years I can only recall one white female that wouldn't breed. Doesn't seem like too big of a problem - at least for us.

    my first shorthorns!!!

    Welcome to the Shorthorn family! Shorthorns may not be perfect (most breeds have their shortfalls) but they do a lot of things really well and have a lot to offer the beef industry. We've raised Shorthorns on our farm for the past 38 years (after starting with another breed) and have only come...
