HSS Calf of the Month
The purpose of this page is to showcase calves that demonstrate the increasing quality and diversity of Heritage Shorthorn Genetics currently being used. The Heritage Shorthorn Society is committed to encouraging expansion of the genetic base of Heritage Shorthorns by utilization of semen from quality older Heritage Shorthorn bulls. A new calf will be featured every 1-2 months on the Calf of the Month Page.
You are encouraged to submit 1 or more photos + information on a calf for possible posting on this “Calf of the Month” Page. See guidelines at the bottom of this page.
