...how old is he?? jbarl
Just wondering why, He isn't more popular in North America. Interested in hearing answers from Non-Shorthorn breeders and Commercial Cattlemen, in addition to the usual crowd of Shorthorn enthusiasts.
The Theo cattle I've seen have not been very impressive. WHR used him & they sure didn't set the world on fire there.
Doc, from what I saw (in the catalog, last years' sale) the bred heifers sired by him looked pretty good. Maybe that was nutrition, I can't say for sure, but, they seemed to be very consistent, and, all of 'em had a broody, "cow" look to them. Being Australian-bred, I'd say to biggest detractant to You All would be the fact that they were slick-haired. Duh! They're heat-adapted cattle, and, therefore, won't have the "great, workable hair".
Just my opinion,
