Shorthorns originated on the northeastern coast of England in the counties of Northcumberland, Lincoln, Durham and York. The Shorthorn breed was though to have originated sometime in the late 16th century (with actual records in 1580 of a superior race of shorties that existed on the Yorkshire estates of Northcumberland). The first herd book of this breed wasn't published until 1822, when, before that, Robert Bakewell, the Colling Brothers, the Booth family, and Thomas Bates were involved in the breeding and improvement of this breed between the years 1730 and 1831.
