Pope's had one in the early Nineties, called RPS Rocky. A real cow maker, when you put him across Angus cows, or something easy fleshing. Select Sires really tried to promote him, and, as far as I can tell, He was the last Shorthorn Bull they tried to Mass-Market.

The thing I like about the Shorthorn breed that Maines seem to lack is the soggy made look they bring.  I like everything about the bull except he looks extremely tight gutted, and that to me is a huge minus.

I got one of those new long computer screens so I thought his tight guttedness was a screen artifact! Everything looks so long on it - it is going back....

And it may just be a bad picture, but that' what I thought too and I haven't noticed it on any of the other pictures I have looked at on the SEK website.

He's worth a try.  I think his body depth will be better when he gets a little older.  He was probably going through that funky yearling stage about the time the pic was taken.  He is big boned, cool fronted and good haired.
