The new “Spotlight on Members” article features Bobby Halcomb in Tennessee who is a Charter Member of HSS. He has a passion for preserving the genetics of traditional Heritage/Native Shorthorns.
The Heritage Shorthorn Certified Beef program, its new website, and marketing ideas are being finalized and intended to be fully activated by the first of June. Any comments or suggestions that you have about the latest information which was recently sent to all members should be sent to our office. For those who would like to participate for this year and for 2022, it is a free program, but we need you to send us contact and promotional information even if you don’t currently have locker meat & steers available. No one is automatically added to the program, so be sure to “officially sign up” to be listed by sending a note with the information that you want included. This new program can be a benefit to all Heritage Shorthorn breeders by raising the desirability of Heritage Shorthorns with new breeders, but HSS needs your help in making this a success.
With the work involved with the new HSCB program, our volunteer staff has decided to reschedule the annual HSS Photo Contest from spring until late summer. Keep your camera or smart phone handy so you can capture some great snapshots. If you have an idea for the theme of this year’s contest, send us a note.
Some of you may have already observed that the Canadian members of HSS are being “relocated” from the International Members page to the main Breeders/Members Page on the website.
