Lonny Flack partly hidden by Justamere Todd
The most recent installment (Part 5) in Lonny Flack’s entertaining articles about raising & showing Shorthorns during the 1960s-1980s is posted on the Cattle Viewpoints page of the HSS website.
As the weather starts improving, and as spring calves are born and romping in the pasture, be sure to take some photos with your camera or phone. HSS is always pleased to receive good pictures for possible use on the home page rotating photo gallery, or for possible use in other ways on our website or in promotional literature. In addition, HSS likes to highlight calves (less than 7 mo. old at time of photo) which are born from assorted “classic” Heritage bulls, and these are posted on the “Calf of the Month” Page.
HSS wants to expand advertising for Heritage Shorthorns into new marketing areas so any suggestions from HSS members for new places to advertise are helpful—drop us a line with your suggestions. The advertising budget is increasing as the number of registrations from HSS members continues to increase.
The HSS office receives many inquiries about the availability of Heritage Shorthorn heifers from across Canada and the USA. If you plan to sell heifers this year, it is never too early to contact the HSS office to make us aware of what you may have for sale later this year. Our office likes to know what “direction” to send potential purchasers. More people want to jump on the “Heritage Shorthorn bandwagon” but the availability of females to purchase is still a limiting factor.
