The Big Show / Re: Heritage/Native Shorthorn Bull Listing

I want to thank XBAR for asking the most pertinent question on this thread Do any of these genetics still exist? Yes. I know of several members of the Heritage Shorthorn Society who have these genetics, some of whom have posted on this thread. The one I want to highlight is Wally Klose (Diamond K Shorthorns-Twin Bridges, Montana) who raises Heritage Influenced Shorthorns and owns a bull, Harvey Fulton 32A (ASA #4206631), who is the spitting image of Weston Romeo except he is bigger, thicker and still alive. I have seen Harvey at different times of the year and he stays in amazing condition no matter what he has available to eat. If you look closely at the Harvey pictures I have included you will see he is grazing on some of Wallys finest pasture. No Iowa corn for Harvey. I am sure many of you know Wally and realize he runs a no frills operation. They either make it or they are on a one way trip to town. Harvey is sired by Kenmar President 26A and includes Kenmar Ransom 32Z, Pleasant dawn Seal 2nd, and HHFS Dream Weaver on his maternal side. Wallys market has always been the commercial cattlemen and he has made a living selling Shorthorns to that market for approximately 60 years. Too bad there are not many Shorthorn breeders left that have his MO (modus operandi for Dragnet fans).
