The website of the Breeding Firm , named something with lightening in the name did have some calves that were allegedly Shorthorns. I remember Don Lily and Helen Forehand, of Summer Winds Farm, in Seymour, MO. They had some big, performance oriented cattle. In fact they bred the "Soldier" bull of Tim Loudon's. Guess it was the "green " factor, that got them going in the opposite direction.TJ said:garybob said:The "mini Shorthorns" on that web page look like Jerseys, or BVD-calves!

I went to take a look & it is interesting that there are no pictures of any "mini shorthorns" anywhere on that website. Do such animals even exist? However, in the classifieds it shows pics of 2 Dexters. Why would Dexter's be on a site for "mini shothorns"? I assume that the 2 Dexters are the cattle that you are talking about & I agree with you, they don't look so hot.

The "perfect-circle "calf is the one I'm referring to as Jersey, or a BVD-calf.TJ said:garybob said:The website of the Breeding Firm , named something with lightening in the name did have some calves that were allegedly Shorthorns.

OK, I found it on a search engine. If all the "mini shorts" look like that, I bet they don't sell too many. BTW, did you see where they are going to develop "mini Charolais"?
