Milking Shorthorns - The Breed that Fills Every Need!

The Milking Shorthorn breed is the most versatile of all breeds and this is one of its greatest attributes. These docile cows efficiently produce large volumes of nutritious milk each lactation and are large enough to have a high salvage value when their long productive lives finally come to an end. In addition, their healthy calves born each year on regular calving intervals are spunky at birth, grow rapidly, and those not kept for breeding stock and herd replacement make efficient gains and hang very desirable grading carcasses. 

Other attributes of the breed include:
            - Grazing efficiency
            - Production potential
            - Disease resistance
            - Calving ease & calving interval, and
            - Milk quality
