American Boy, 1939
Note: The semen cane codes listed below have come from various sources, and their accuracy has not been independently verified. These codes are provided to help in identifying semen from older Heritage Shorthorn Bulls. Prior to purchasing or using old semen, it is advisable to check that the individual straw or ampule has the correct information on the bull.
**Anyone wanting to contribute additional reference codes for Heritage Shorthorn semen should send the information to: OFFICE@HERITAGESHORTHORN.ORG
We encourage all cattle breeders to have their semen tanks inventoried to help locate heritage semen for buyers who might be interested in heritage bloodlines in any breed.
Pictures and information on many old Shorthorn bulls can be found on our Reference "Classic" Bulls Page.
The Shorthorn Select Genetics website also contains photos and information on many old Reference bulls www.shorthornselectgenetics.com, and it has a technique guide on using semen from ampules/amps and “Magic Wands”.
