As Heritage Shorthorns become more popular due to the U.S. and Canadian promotional ads sponsored by HSS, and also via the chatter on Dr. Bruton’s Facebook site, there are an increasing number of breeders who are registering their cattle with HSS to document Heritage status. This is inexpensive and has a quick turn around time. Visit the HSS Registration Information page (https://www.heritageshorthorn.org/registry-information).
As a breeder it is important to help expand the Heritage Shorthorn Registry database to benefit everyone who might be interested in Shorthorn bloodlines. The HSS Registry is currently the most extensive publicly available database on Heritage Shorthorn bloodlines in the world. Explore the database and then help to expand it by registering! To take full advantage of the database, if you are new to viewing the HSS Registry, click first on the FAQ button on its entry page. (https://registry.heritageshorthorn.org) Attached to this newsletter is a sample entry for the heritage cow Rosabell 515th. All of the parents in the 5 generation pedigree are clickable links, as are all of the blue-highlighted wordings.
Try entering the well-known bull Boa Kae Royal Oak in the ASA or AMSS databases to see what information pops up, then enter his name in the HSS Registry database link above to see the results.
There is a growing niche market for horned Heritage Shorthorns. See the latest Calf of the Month on the HSS website. This pretty heifer traces to Albo on the sire’s side and to classic Haumont bloodlines on the dam’s side.
HSS has sponsored new ads in the Spring Issue of the Canadian Shorthorn Report (CSR) and also in the recent Small Farmers Journal. Attached below is a copy of the latest CSR ad about Heritage Shorthorns.
