that's an interesting %.. Might I ask how you figured it?

sure. maybe i am mixing it up. her mother is 1/2 shorthorn 1/2 angus, her father was 2/2 angu. so im not sure.

So the sire is pure Angus and the mother is half and half, isn't that 75% Angus and 25% Shorthorn?

I think his calf is actually, 1/4 Shorthorn.. and I'll argue that till my face turns blue.

Yes 1/4 is 25% with 3/4 being 75%, 1/4 Shorthorn and 3/4 Angus, if the breeding is what he says it is.

dont know how i got thirds... so its a no go??

I would say no but am not positive. Some shows require different percentage of breeds. I would wait and see if a Shorthorn breeder knows. I would say just off my experience in my area most shows require a 50% of a breed to show in that breed show, don't know what amount is needed for a shorthorn plus as we don't have just shorthorn plus shows, we do have shorthorn shows but not the plus, hope that helps.

Here is a link to the ASA registration info
http://www.shorthorn.org/registrations/main_registrations.html
From what I read at shows sanctioned by ASA you need at least 50% Shorthorn to show.  Maybe just email the ASA and see if there are shows that allows 25%.
Good luck with your calf.
