The Shorthorn breed of cattle originated in the North East of England in the late 18th century. The breed was developed as dual-purpose, suitable for both dairy and beef production; however, certain blood lines within the breed always emphasised one quality or the other. Over time, these different lines diverged, and by the second half of the 20th century, two separate breeds had developed – the Beef Shorthorn, and the Milking Shorthorn. All Shorthorn cattle are coloured red, white, or roan, although roan cattle are preferred by some, and completely white animals are not common. However, one type of Shorthorn has been bred to be consistently white – the Whitebred Shorthorn, which was developed to cross with black Galloway cattle to produce a popular blue roan crossbreed, the Blue Grey.
History
The breed developed from Teeswater and Durham cattle found originally in the North East of England. In the late 18th century, the Colling brothers, Charles and Robert, started to improve the Durham cattle using the selective breeding techniques that Robert Bakewell had used successfully on Longhorn cattle. In 1796, Charles Colling of Ketton Hall, bred the famous Durham Ox. The culmination of this breeding program was the birth of the bull Comet, bred by Charles Colling, in 1804. This bull was subsequently sold for 1,000 guineas in 1810 at the Brafferton sale, the first 1,000-guinea bull ever recorded. Related cattle may have been imported to the United States by Harry Dorsey Gough of Baltimore, Maryland, before 1808.
Shorthorns arrived in America almost from the beginning of the country and are present all over the world. They are adaptable to most climates.

Shorthorn Cattle | The American Rancher
This fall, the American Shorthorn Association is launching a new program called “Shorthorn Beef – Locally Raised.” Its goal is to help producers of Shorthorn cattle market high-quality beef to local consumers. If you’re interested in participating, visit ASA’s website or Facebook page for more information. There’s no doubt, it will create new opportunities for both rural and urban Americans.
Since 1872, the Shorthorn has improved herds and made farms and ranches across the country more competitive. But the breed’s contribution goes beyond its historical legacy. Today, Shorthorn cattle contribute traits that matter, like docility, maternal excellence, feedlot performance and superior beef quality. It’s the perfect match to crossbreed with Angus and other British-based cattle. Gentle. Quiet...

Today, Shorthorn cattle contribute traits that matter, like docility, maternal excellence, feedlot performance and superior beef quality. It’s the perfect match to crossbreed with Angus and other British-based cattle. Gentle. Quiet. Easy to handle. The Shorthorn is the ideal, family-centric breed. For cattlemen set on doing business for the long haul, Shorthorns are the answer. With a foundation based on sustainability, their gentle nature, calving ease and maternal traits make them easy keepers. Research shows they add longevity to herds with females lasting a year longer when compared to other breeds. Shorthorns boost heterosis too, without losing gain, feedlot performance or carcass quality.
