Several additional bulls have been added to the list of Heritage bulls which have been tested free for all 4 of the main genetic defects. This list is updated as semen on Heritage bulls is submitted by breeders to the national testing laboratories and information becomes available.
HSS will be running a full page ad in the September issue of “Shorthorn Country”. This ad will be designed to inform newer ASA Shorthorn breeders and others who read the magazine about the positive influences that Heritage Shorthorn genetics can play in improving their cattle, and the opportunities that exist in raising Heritage Shorthorns. While the article will direct readers to the Breeders/Members Page of the Heritage Shorthorn Society website, you may want to consider running your own individual farm/ranch ad in this same “Shorthorn Country” issue. An ad prominently highlighting your own Heritage or Heritage Influenced cattle could garner extra attention by dovetailing with the HSS ad. Another consideration would be to place an updated ad on the HSS Cattle for Sale Page &/or the HSS Breeder’s Ads Page since there will be a spike in viewers to these HSS pages after the Shorthorn Country ad is published.
