I am thinking about infusing some shorthorn genetics into my angus herd. Would like to use a white bull. My main goals are replacement females with prettier fronts and better hips than angus. Any reccommendations will be appreciated. Thanks David
Davis Shorthorns said:Depending on what you are wanting to do I would try either Vegas or Sin City for a clubby look watch out with vegas he is a carrier. If you are wanting something that still has plenty of show but will make a great heifer I would try TM Gus. Gus also would have a smaller BW than either Vegas or Sin City. Good luck a real light roan might give you the blue roan look that I am thinking you are going for. In that case you might try capiche as you can get sexed semen for 50 bucks both male and female sexed is avalable. Have fun the angus/ shorthorn cross is one good cross.
//////-Post some pics when u get a chance-hes one of the better all around bulls (and largly unknown) going. He has that touch of Angus-and it really works. Another one unnoticed by most (except this author and Kris Black and Wendall Dunn who owned him,and Darlene Bloomquist in Nebraska ) is JF Perfect Image-supr low BW-really nice thick hiefers-total outcross today-use him on anything O0shortdawg said:Mark, I got my Casper daughter from Glover today - she looks good.

AStar said:Thanks everyone for the suggestions. What kind of milkers do Vegas and Sin City produce? I don't want to have a herd of hard calvers but I do want a clubbier phenotype with a stout hind leg. What about some of the unproven white bulls? Buddy Love, The Bartender etc...Free For All is Buddy Loves full sib-and there have been alot of white calves out of him -hes clean-Buddy Love and the Bartender are both PHA Carriers.
