Best bull to produce Appendix Shorthorns

[6bshortie]

Looking to use clubby bulls on a purebred operation for appendix calves.  Don't want to produces short cattle, looking for one to make the best heifers rather than steers.  Would rather have the bull be clean than a Th carrier.  What are your guys thoughts?????? Thanks

I think thriller would cross good with Shorthorn.

Hes not clean but eye candy works well. We used him on some of our shorthorns and it worked great!

I have thought about eye candy and I like him was just wondering what others thought about other possibilities. I'm not afan of tiger woods don't know what it is about him just don't want to use him.

So your current cow base is registered shorthorns? Will you paper the calves as plus ?  curious

 

[6bshortie]

Ya I would register them as plus. My main goal is still purebreds just would like to have one or two plus calves for diversity.

We have been very pleased with Crimson Tide on our shorthorn and percent shorthorn cattle.  He is registered half blood as a bonus so calves can be registered as higher percentage our of shorty cows.  The females out of this mating have been soft made, super hairy and as an added plus...attitudes are really good. 

Hope that insight helps,
Brian
