You can go home again (2)….

A Thistle Hill bull returns home at sunset.  Some years ago we sold he and his mother to nearby Reality Farm, owned by Teri and John Geuvremont.  We told John, the little guy would probably turn out to be the herd bull for his Angus cows.

Recently his mother was returned here for breeding and she reminded us of our agonizing over the decision to sell her.  (See “You Can Go Home Again” below.)

Well that made us curious about the bull calf.  To make a long story short, he’s all growed up and John and Teri agreed to loan him to us to use over a major portion of our herd.  He’s descended from Rotokawa 974 but on his mother’s pedigree there’s Rotokawa 667 on both sides.

We think this is one of our best matings and we’re anxious to see how he does both here and at Reality Farm….and how he’s going to look when he’s truly a mature bull.  We’ll give you a better look at him in the bright sun in coming days.
