The newest HSS “Spotlight on Members” article features a HSS member who lives in Canada. This the first “Spotlight On Member” article featuring a Canadian member of HSS. Dr. Tyler May raises a variety of heritage livestock, including Heritage Shorthorns in the far north, where hardiness and adaptability are essential qualities. He has quite an interesting story.
New rotating photos have been posted on the HSS Homepage to highlight the friendly dispositions and wide utility of Heritage and Heritage-Influenced Shorthorns. Take a look to see if you recognize anyone in the photos! These photos are changed periodically, and we welcome pictures from any of you who are good at taking snapshots.
Additional cane codes for old Shorthorn bull semen have been added to the HSS Semen Code Page, to help breeders figure out what older bulls may be in their semen tanks.
Have you ever puzzled over the confusing variety of names associated with Shorthorns (Dairy, Teeswater, Durham, Native, Milking, etc., etc.)? If so, the latest “Cattle Viewpoints” article, “Shorthorns—What’s in a Name?” explains what all these terms mean.
A paid advertisement highlighting Heritage Shorthorns is in the most recent print issue of the Livestock Conservancy Newsletter (Winter 2023). Additional different ads are scheduled in other magazines for April, and will be shown in the April Newsletter.
