Sired by Columbus. Albo was an extremely popular bull in the mid to late 1970’s. He was part of the ABS stud battery and used extensively in Milking Shorthorn herds especially in the Northeastern part of the USA. His daughters had excellent udders and his sons had the thickness that was expected from beef bulls. Many consider his dam, Thornwood Royal Terri 2nd, to be the most beautiful Shorthorn cow that has ever existed. This is the last Albo embryo we will sell.
We have had IVF embryos calves sired by Albo.

Perfect Count was raised by Dave Ball of Edmonton, Alberta Canada. He was a bridge to the transformation of Shorthorns from the “Belt Buckle Era” to the “Tall Era”. Perfect Count was a large bull with his weight ranging from 2560#- 2780#. In addition Perfect Count was homozygous polled so he was adding both the polled gene and size to his offspring. His sire, Carona Perfect, was a large bull for his time and certainly helped make Ball Dee Perfect Count the exceptional bull that he was. He was used both in the US and in Canada.
SSG has sold IVF embryos that have produced calves sired by Ball Dee Perfect Count.

Graham Land & Livestock of Waverly, Minnesota were the breeders of Columbus. He was a leading sire of both performance and show cattle in the early 1970’s. His offspring included Grand Champion bulls and females at the National Western, Canadian Agribition, North American Expo, and the Polled Shorthorn Congress. He had a mature weight of 2450# and his calves had excellent rates of growth. Milk production and udders were very good in his daughters. Columbus was a complete breeding bull. Columbus offspring have the potential to work in any Shorthorn herd because of their quality and versatility.
We have had a number of calves sired by Columbus, and SSG has sold IVF embryos sired by Columbus that have produced calves.

Four Point Major (known as Massive Major to many breeders) weighed in the 2600-2700# range. What set him apart was his ruggedness, size, thickness, longevity, and the quality of his daughters. His daughters had the quality and style that should be the basis of foundation females today.
We have had calves sired by Four Point Major and SSG has sold IVF embryos that have produced calves sired by Four Point Major.

Kenmar Ransom 5Z also comes from the Harvey Fulton herd in Birtle, Manitoba, Canada. 5Z is a 3/4 brother to Kenmar Ransom 32Z with the difference being their maternal grandmothers. Compared to 32Z, 5 Z was bigger, thicker, smoother, and polled. Sired by Pleasant Dawn Seal 2nd, 5Z brings together many of the attributes desired in today’s Shorthorns. His offspring have been excellent and can be incorporated as a positive genetic infusion for Modern Shorthorns.
We have had both AI sired and IVF embryo calves sired by Kenmar Ransom 5Z.

Nick-named “Tank Jr.”, he was a grandson of Pleasant Dawn Seal 2nd and HiWay President. He was another popular Kenmar bull from the Harvey Fulton herd in Manitoba, Canada. His picture tells the story as far as his thick, smooth muscle pattern and excellent size for his time period. He incorporates the best of Kenmar breeding. We strongly believe this bull can have a positive impact on Heritage Shorthorns. These are the only two embryos we will ever sell sired by 6B.

A really important bull in the development of modern Shorthorns was Kinnaber Leader 9th, bred by Bob & Wayne Gordon of Souris, Manitoba Canada. This bull was nick-named “Big Gene” after Gene McDonald—he was a representative of Shorthorn Country and an American Shorthorn Association field representative who loved the bull for his growth. Overall Leader 9 offspring are known for docility, marbling, and being very well balanced. His daughters have had excellent udders.
We have had both AI sired calves and IVF embryo calves sired Kinnaber Leader 9th, along with several grandsons and grand daughters.

Pleasant Dawn Seal 2nd was bred by Lloyd Hatch of Manitoba Canada.  The Hatch herd was undoubtedly one of the best Shorthorn cow herds in all of Canada for many years.  Seal 2nd was leased for many years to American Breeders Service (ABS).  He was so popular as a sire that there is almost no semen left on him.  His daughters were tremendous brood cows. From our experience using PDS2 he is a prepotent bull with both first and second generation offspring exemplifying the the positive traits most Shorthorn breeders are looking for, including growth.

Seabreeze Fascination is the rarest of the rare when it comes to old Heritage Shorthorn bulls. He is the only grandson of Carona Fascination that semen still exists on. Carona Fascination can be found in the pedigrees of many of the top Shorthorn bulls by searching pedigrees. Seabreeze was used in the Jim Scafe’s Misty Hills herd in the Yukon for many years. He was a big, rugged bull that held up under the minimalistic conditions that existed in the Misty Hills herd which alone is proof of the value of his genetics. The options for utilizing Seabreeze to strengthen Shorthorn genetics are vast.

The “Bull Dozer” calf we have sired by SBF is so well muscled that he literally is a bulldozer. Compared with Modern Shorthorns, Bull Dozer has phenomenal thickness without the myostatin gene.

• Donor Cow: Whisper Mandy Lou 1L (These 3 are the only Seabreeze embryos SSG will ever sell.)

TPS Coronet Leader 21st is an iconic Shorthorn bull. Born in 1960 he was a large bull in a world dominated at the time by small (belt-buckle) cattle. He was a stout and thick bull that has sired many famous Shorthorn sires such as Kinnaber Leader 6th and 9th. His importance to the rejuvenation of the Shorthorn breed at that moment in time should not be underestimated. American Breeders service (ABS) promoted him as a changer bull that would bring the Shorthorn breed out of the wilderness of small cattle into the world of functional, productive cattle. Leader 21st lead that charge. The few embryos being offered sired by Leader 21st contain some of the rarest genetics/pedigrees in Heritage Shorthorns. The dams of the embryos are two of the best cows in the Whispering Hills herd. All these embryos have the chance to be both homozygous polled and A2/A2.

A Canadian Image son that had a world record ribeye measurement of over 20 inches. One look at his picture shows the thickness, depth, and smooth muscle appearance that many breeders are searching for today. The Tyrone herd was owned by James A. Creighton &Son of Caledonia Ontario Canada. Ernmore Image had a successful show career, but more importantly, his offspring consistently outperformed the offspring of almost all other bulls of the time in the pasture.

Nicknamed “Fillet”, he was considered by many to be the best Shorthorn bull of all time. His sire, TPS Coronet Leader 21st certainly put his mark on the Shorthorn breed. “Fillet” had tremendous length with a very smooth muscle pattern. Many of his sons and daughters have made a name for themselves in the annals of Shorthorn history. As part of the Martin Nold herd he was also a show winning bull.
