Where to find???

[EaglesNest]

Does anyone know where to find semen from "native" shorthorn bulls?  ???  I 'm fairly new to this site and haven't begin to make a dent in reading the posts.

Define "native".  Don't think the native Americans kept up the papers.

(lol) nice. Native as in shorthorns that can be registered in either beef association ASA, or American Milking Shorthorn Society. Within AMSS they carry the N designation.

I'm pretty sure you can register any shorthorn animal, in either association if paying the double register 50 dollar fee.

I checked into it a couple years ago when I had the opportunity to buy some pure milker females cheap- and thought of expanding my beef herd with them.

Go to the RLshorthorns.com (roy lovaas)Roys a good guy, deep into native breeding. Good place to start.

I believe that is correct also but not all milkers or beef shorthorns n amss get the N designation. That only occurs if all the pedigree is traceable to coates herdbook. Sorry should've clarified that better.

Thanks for all input folks, much appreciated.  ;D

I have one more place to try, let me make contact with him first, and see what he might have.  It might be more dual or dairy type, than beef type... although I know he kept many of the cattle dual papered back in the day-- just in the last 20 years or so the beef papers were dropped.

ETA:  I searched for him on the ASA site, in ironically, the last female he registered, 1982= was a grand daughter of the bull you PM'd me about...
