I thought it was a unique twist that they featured a Shorthorn bull in their promo for Monday's upcoming episode.The bull etched into the arch of the Chicago stockyards gate was owned by an Illinois cattleman by the name of John D.Gillette whose family still owns a big chunk of land north of Springfield Il.He was known as the ''Cattle King of the world'' and shipped 2 to 3000 hd of cattle to Europe a year,all Shorthorns of course!
