In 1920, more than 4,000 pedigree shorthorn animals were disposed of at public auction.
These animals are as good as any diary shorthorn, yet the shorthorn is included.
When they are crossed with shorthorn, they still make good beef.
Take, for instance, the shorthorn and the redpoll.
There was a man who had spent the whole of his lifetime in building up a very fine herd of shorthorn cattle.
I live in the district where shorthorns were first of all produced, and we still believe in shorthorns in our district.
Some people do still milk shorthorns, although they are perhaps more usually reared for beef; but that also needs defining.
The only annoying thing which happened to me—cattle are very inquisitive—was when one shorthorn of mine went to investigate a hikers' tent.
