Shorthorn

Dual-purpose bovine breed

Shorthorn refers specifically to the breed of cattle, often used as an attributive: Shorthorn cattle, Shorthorn breeders' association.

The capitalized form appears in formal breed registries and agricultural contexts where it functions as a proper noun denoting the recognized breed rather than a general description. (Lowercase shorthorn describes the same cattle less formally.)
