Gerrish visits Thistle Hill….

….Jim Gerrish, that is, the nation’s leading pasture expert.  We’re fortunate to count Jim among our friends.  He’s the one who convinced us eight years ago to “go red” before red was cool.

More than that, Jim’s counsel on a wide range of grazing issues has been invaluable in both raising our Devon and finishing animals for meat.  Above, he’s just great company and the world really won’t miss the few bottles of red we destroyed during his visit.

After staying the night (and checking out some of our herd and pastures as the sun went down), Jim went on to star in a series of programs put on by the Virginia Forage and Grasslands Council.  Today in Front Royal, he proved again that he’s one of the best speakers on the sustainable ag circuit!
