Mini Shorthorns

[rtmcc]

This is a little off base for me but a friend of asked if I knew were he could find some Mini Shorthorns.  I said I have never heard of them but would ask around.  Figured this was as good a place as any to start with the wide  array of people and many Shorthorn breeders that are on here.

Has anybody seen any of these and does anybody know were some might be available? 

Thanks for the help!

I am not sure what you mean by redone? It is one I had scanned and posted on Showsteers sometime ago.

PS Troubadour was the Grand Champion steer at the 1956 Chicago International. He was bred at Penn State and was sired by Calrossie Troubadour, who was a herd sire at Cyrus Eaton's Acadia Farms, Ohio.Cyrus Eaton was the owner and Chairman of the Board of the Cheasapeake and Ohio Railroad.
After this win, he commissioned a luxury parlor car on the C&O railroad to be named the PS Troubadour, and he toured this steer throughout almost all parts of the USA and Canada for almost two years.
This steer was displayed at major events from the East coast to the West coast, was introduced to numerous movie stars and leading politicians .... and was one of the first animals to be displayed on numerous Television shows in the early years of TV.
This steer has his own attendants that traveled with him and cared for him year round. No animal in history was ever introduced to as many world leaders as this steer was

Sorry OH I was speaking of the previous coloured pic.  I know about Troubador. The pic you posted was of John Deifenbaker, who was Prime Minister of Canada at the time. I'm trying to think of the lady on the halter. She was General Manager for Cyrus Eaton......Betty Roydon ?????
Is that right OH?

 

[Cowfarmer65]

Getting way off topic, but Cyrus Eaton and Acadia Farms also had a farm in Nova Scotia.

For real - I emailed this mini breeder this summer but do not remember all of the details of the operation. If I can find the other bull photo I will post it. The horned bull is 7 yrs old?? Very nice lady you can email - not sure if they sell semen or just the animals??
