I have decided to breed some of my shorthorn cows for shorthorn plus and I was thinking about breeding to a shorthorn bull. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.
the cows that i have chose are moderate framed and have a fare amount of depth and rib shape to them if that helps at all.

I really appreciate everyone's suggestions

Do you mean simmental bull? If you have depth and rib already, do you just want to add power? Are you looking for replacement females or terminal calves? Macho is a good one to add muscle if you have depth. I sure like the Grandmaster calves also, and there was a great shorthorn simm blue heifer that was posted on here not to long ago...

I want to produce some good shorthorn plus heifers.

Thanks for your advice
