Here we go again….
….the start of a new calving season with A123. He’s a “he”….by Thistle Hill Reality. A bull we sold as a youngster but brought back for a command performance when we saw how well he had matured. We like it when calves confidently accept our attention—and tagging—on their very first contact.
Wooz wants to name him Elizabeth since it’s her birthday and that’s her real name. Do we dare?! I have in mind John Cash’s “Boy Named Sue”, of course.
Reality has Rotokawa 667 on both sides so he comes by his sturdiness naturally. And it certainly helps to come out of our wonderful “3 family” as well….mom is THF T3…and this is her third calf.
We used Reality over a good number of our cows this time and now we can’t wait to see his next babies.

Happy Birthday by the way x

She says “thank you, Juliet”. I say “see you in the Spring”. “X”, by the way may be named “Eli“.

Why not Sir Walter in deference to QE1’s hero du jour?

The suggestion made by son, Church, as well. Wasn’t Dudley her longtime love? Not much of a name for a bull, me thinks. We wanted to save the English names for our English bulls, though.
My two great-grandsons are Rowan and Lachlan….good Scot names for bulls but, actually, I prefer numbers. However, I won’t win this one probably. (Come to think of it……)
