The Thistle Hill Alumni Club….

“Shenandoah“….a yearling heifer who is the result of a pairing here at Thistle Hill.  The dam is Q1 and the sire, U2 “Double Trouble”.

Q1 was an older cow we sent into retirement in the South—Tomina Farms in Tennessee—but, as you can see, she’s still working for Regina and Tom Tesnow.  Actually, at 8 years of age, we find a Devon cow is really right in the prime of her life.

There are quite a few Thistle Hill cows at Tomina Farms and, I think I mentioned before, that Regina tends to give them “Virginia names”, thus “Shenandoah“.

“Brandy Station“, another yearling heifer and another result of Thistle Hill genetics at home at Tomina Farms.  Her dam is a sister to the great “THF Magic”…and the sire again was “Double Trouble”.

We’re calving now as well as graduating another class of heifers ready to breed.  You may want to set aside some time when warmer weather returns to come by for a visit.
