Part 3: Evaluating the Genealogy of Orison of Canela
So we’ve established in our last post that Shat-Acre Cinnamon was in great part an outstanding foundation cow in the Shatney fold due to her concentration of LC King’s Pride genes, to which she was both inbred (through Shatney-Acre Billie and Shat-Acre Herman) and line-bred. Moreover, LC King’s Pride was a very prepotent sire because he had a 2Sx1D inbreeding to his dam FS Loretta 2nd. This accumulation of excellent homozygous genes no doubt provided Cinnamon with a concentrated genotype derived from a proven bull that was much talked about in his time.
Part 2: Evaluating the Genealogy of Orison of Canela
I hereby continue my commentary regarding the pedigree of Orison of Canela, where I emphasized the virtue of having three crosses to the great matriarch of Shat Acre, the impressive foundation cow Cinnamon. This cow was responsable for two daughters that accumulated four Cow/Calf National Championships in the prestigious NWSS in Denver, Colorado. Moreover, she also produced the excellent bull, Lance’s Lucky, whose life terminated prematurely due to a fatal accident. That being said, the influence he propagated in the Shat Acre fold has contributed to its national fame.

This is another commentary that I wrote in Spanish and due to the poor translations English speakers are getting on their end, I’ve taken the trouble to translate more accurately the original content. I apologize that this makes the chronological order of the commentaries inversed, but I’ve stipulated Part 1,2 & 3 in the title in order to facilitate reading them in a logical sequence.
