Red, here are a few things to wet your appetite while I can work something up. The shorthorns at KSU were donated to the univerity by Tomson Bros. The same Tomson as Harding and Harding fame. I also got my hands on an old herd book from England with a list of members. The first person listed is the Queen. For everything shorthorn from Booth to Bates to the "White Heifer That Showed" and the twins that got us the now famous polled shorthorns I would suggest reading History of Shorthorn Cattle by James Sinclair and for Elbee if he doesn't own it or hasn't read it Kansas Shorthorns; A history of the breed from 1857 to 1920 by G.A. Laude. By the way the white heifer was a free martin it is rumored that she was so fat that after a victory they would pour the beverage of choice down the groove in her back and drink it out with straws.

is that the one that traveled the world?
Some really interesting things you've given us. I'm sure elbee, Gary Bob, Scott & the other Shorthorn people have read the books but I'll look into them. Harlan's site was full of great information too. He has some slides of older Maine bull from Franch that i'd love to get my paws on!

The simmental is still waiting for the correct name, not Parices nor Papillon.  The Angus is up for grabs as well
