shortdawg said:OK ! Here's the short answer for my breeding program . Right now breeding a few of my Shorthorn females to Northern Improvement to get some quality replacement females that I can breed for steers or for Shorty Plus calves. I done the Angus/Shorty cross for some time and really like the quality of those halfbloods. So, my concentration right now is more toward the Shorty Plus side of the Shorthorn deal.
I owe CAB a beer or other suitable beverage for reminding me a year and half ago to give Northern Improvement a try on crossbred cows. One of the best Chi heifers getting shown down here three years ago was a Northern Improvement out of a Full Flush GD.
Anyway, I used him on some Golden Child heifers and got a real good one. She is a little pet my youngest is showing for his first calf. Best calf I've ever had out of a heifer. I'll get a picture of her up, but she is the prettiest fronted calf you'll find. She could be a tad bit deeper bodied, but otherwise she'll run with anything down here I think once I get her fatter.
