Mercedes Benz on shorthorn heifers

[shortii]

I was wondering if I could get some people's thoughts about using the Maine bull Mercedes Benz on shorthorn heifers. Does this combination work, any advice, pictures of calves or other suggestions of calving ease bulls to make shorthorn plus calves would be greatly appreciated.

If you look at the sales-the Maine Shorthorn cross can be pretty good-and MB is going to be as easy calving as almost ANY Shorthorn-although there is a concerted effort to change this-OUGHTA WORK FINE-1st thing is a live calf-and its gravy after that O0

I think that would be a good thing. Good bull.
