From the Shorthorn websight:

1. Eligibility: Initial entries into the ShorthornPlus Registry Program shall receive the prefix AR prior to registration number. This prefix shall be assigned to all cattle of the following percentages: 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16, 5/8, 11/16, 3/4, 13/16, and 7/8, except that cattle with black markings or coat color cannot exceed the 1/2 percentage designation.

I think it is 1/4% if sired by a 1/2% Shorthorn Bull...

Yup, but can't be shown at an ASA sanctioned show unless it's 1/2 blood I believe.

You both are correct.  From the ASA websight:

6. Other Regulations

a. Eligibility for Shows: ShorthornPlus and Durham Red animals are only eligible to show at designated ShorthornPlus shows and are not eligible for PACE points.  All ShorthornPlus animals with less than 50% Shorthorn blood concentration must be sired by a ½ blood or higher registered Shorthorn bull to be eligible for ShorthornPlus shows. Starting with the 2010/2011 show season, ShorthornPlus and Durham Red animals are only eligible to show at designated ShorthornPlus shows and are not eligible for PACE points.  All ShorthornPlus animals must be 50% Shorthorn blood concentration or higher to be eligible for ShorthornPlus shows.
