Breed Societies
The Milking/Dairy Shorthorn has a strong pedigree following with breed societies in all the major countries where Milking/Dairy Shorthorn are typically bred. The Shorthorn Society of United Kingdom and Ireland own the rights to what is thought to be the first pedigree herd book for cattle in the world, which became known as "Coates's Herd Book". Despite shorthorn beef breeders creating their own herd book in 1976 the "Coates's Herd Book" is still going strong with in excess of 2500 registrations in the 2010 herd book.

Famous quotes containing the words breed and/or societies:
“Instead of offering the Indians a chance to surrender, and to be taken peaceably, General Connor issued a very cruel order to his men—’Take no prisoners, fight to the death; nits breed lice.’”
—State of Utah, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“There is no human failure greater than to launch a profoundly important endeavour and then leave it half done. This is what the West has done with its colonial system. It shook all the societies in the world loose from their old moorings. But it seems indifferent whether or not they reach safe harbour in the end.”
—Barbara Ward (1914–1981)
