“Reality” settling in…

We promised a picture of Thistle Hill Reality without the dramatic sunset lighting….and here it is.  Like most young bulls, he finds the heifers on the other side of the fence more attractive.  So he did go wandering last night…into our neighbor’s herd of commercial Angus.

But Thistle Hill bulls are always gentlemen.  First, Reality didn’t tear down fence, or jump.  He just found a gate that had been left open in a back corner and went through.

This morning, our neighbor, Kathy Hartz, simply walked him back through a lot of pasture and to an adjacent corner.  We opened the gate and he ambled back through.  Despite a stranger and a woman at that, no sticks, and no shouting….Reality behaved beautifully.

Reality is just three…the result of combining Rotokawa 974 and 667 genetics.
