Shea Emo 774

[Oldtimer]

Over the last year or so I've talked to/been asked about finding Shoshone bloodline seedstock now that both Shoshone and Horse Butte are dropping the registration papers...Here is a Shoshone bloodline bull that was raised in Nebraska and that Taylor Orr now has in Montana..

In talking to Taylor today- he sent me a new picture of Shea Emo... Definitely turned into a fine looking bull...And the Shoshone breeding sure shows..

He also said that besides Sustainable Genetics- Universal Semen in Great Falls is now handling semen for him also:

So how similar are the individual animals of Shoshone breeding? I remember reading something of Larry's where he was talking about multiple sire pastures and how if they're linebred the same that it shouldn't make a difference about who the sire was, going along with his idea of it should be the particular genetic strain of an entire producers herd and not just one standout individual or something like that. Nice looking bull.

That is what the linebreeding is supposed to do- produce consistency... But if I remember right Larry had more than one line going over the years... I'm still working my way thru the book of collections of his writings and thoughts " A Shoshone Collection"- and sometimes it takes me some time to digest what I should be learning... ;-)
