What is the best cross shorthorn bull on hereford cow or hereford bull on a shorthorn cow?
Both will work just fine. Neither cross will have the desired heterosis like Hereford on Angus or Hereford on Charolais will.
What bulls can you use on your beef shorthorn cows?
It depends on what kind of calves you want, where you're located and what breeds are available. Charolais is good for a terminal calf, Brahman for high hybrid vigour and for selling calves with more ear and more tolerance to heat if you live in warmer areas, Hereford if you want maternal calves (or Gelbvieh, if you're looking to increase cow size and take advantage of H.V.). Another Beef Shorthorn bull is ideal if you're wanting a uniform, Shorthorn herd or wanting to go towards being a "purebred" or seedstock breeder. Or if you want to increase your herd numbers before opting for the crossbreeding option.
How do you tell a shorthorn cow from a longhorn cow?
Shorthorn cattle (referring to the beef type, not the Milking Shorthorn [dairy]) are thicker, bigger and more bulkier than Longhorns are. Much of the Shorthorn breed are polled, and come in only three colours: red, white and roan. Shorthorns were historically more commonly known as Durham cattle, which had horns that only had a spread of about two to three feet. Longhorn cattle (assuming you're referring to Texas Longhorns and not English Longhorns) come in wider variation of colourations, from all black to dun to speckled black and white or red and white, and near everything in between. TL's have long horns, ranging from 6 to 7 feet in length, more commonly the former and point out and up. They are commonly not as big and beefy as Shorthorns are, being more rangy-looking than most beef cattle. English Longhorns are always a red roan with their horns pointing downwards and in. They are less common in North America than either shorties or TL's.

What bull can you breed safely to your holstein mix heifers?
The thing I'd like to know is what the "mix" part is in the "Holstein mix" equation. Is it Jersey, Guernsey, Hereford, Milking Shorthorn, Brown Swiss, Angus, Shorthorn, etc? And what type of bull are you looking for, a beef bull or dairy? That's the most important part you need to analyze before you make your bull purchasing decisions. For any heifers, you will need to look for a calving-ease bull. For most starting heifers, Jersey or Angus is probably the best for starters.
