shorthorns
English cattle breed
Shorthorns are a breed of cattle originating in northeastern England, known for their docile temperament and dual-purpose use for both beef and dairy.
The name comes from their relatively short, curved horns.
By extension, shorthorn can refer informally to a newcomer or novice—someone who hasn't been around long enough to grow long horns.
