Question for all the Shorthorn connoisseurs and XXCC or anyone else.

[Telos]

There are two full brothers AMAA # P172295 and 112212 one of which was owned by Barkhurst Shorthorns in Wyoming. They were 1982 models with a herd prefix of EPL.

I was wondering if Barkhurst Shorthorns is still operating and if anyone could do some research on this bull that they used? His name is EPL Prospector 240. I think a (something?) Basin Ranch also in Wyoming owned his full brother, EPL Prospector 242P,  probably from a flush. I might have them switched up.

Any info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Since you know their AMAA # you probably already know this but the AMAA's site shows Barkhurts Shorthorns owning EPL PROSPECTOR 242P.  It shows his pedigree and a little other information, not much though.  I didn't see anything on the other one.

There was a Basin Ranch in Wyoming that raised Angus cattle. Can't pull up membership info, but there are animals registered with a "Basin" prefix.

I'm pretty sure Barkhurst is still around.  There is normally a couple of Shorthoen heifers raised by them in the Exposure Sale every December.

Dick is still raising  shorthorn cattle. I talked to him this summer. Give him a call, the previous post has his phone number and he is a nice guy to talk to.

The other piece you are looking for would be Stevenson Basin Ranch out of Hobson, Montana  Here is their site:  www.stevensonbasin.com  Give them a call and they may be able to answer your ????'s.  They are the biggest Angus producer in our region and have some astounding genetics.

Can you elaborate?  How does Touchstone connect with this?

i don't think the "basin" you are talking about and Stevenson Basin Angus have anything in common, but i could be wrong.  is the "basin" you are referring to the same as that ref'd to here?
