Many of our females boarded at Shady Lane Shorthorns are directly sired by some of the breed’s leading sires. For example: Muridale Buster 14K, Sprys True Blue Y033, A&T Captain Obvious 606S, Saskvalley Bonanza 219M, TPS Coronet Leader 21st, Red Rose Gold Spear Ruffian, Byland Gold Spear and AR SU LU Vann.
It is our intention to maintain a herd of about 20-25 moderate sized, docile, maternal females that look good and produce a live calf each year with ease.

Tibial Hemimelia (TH) policy
We recognise TH is a genetic disorder caused by a recessive gene. In December 2006 all cows retained by McBeth and Uluru Shorthorns were tested TH and PHA Free and any cows since acquired are TH Free. Our herd sires are TH Free and we believe our herd to be TH Free and we intend to keep it that way. Should we have any doubts about the status of any animal we own they will be tested without delay.
