And the green grass grew all around….

….NOT!  But our cows, including 180, are waiting patiently.  And actually, if you look carefully, you can see some tinges of green beginning to pop out.

And if look carefully, you’ll see that bull calf in the background.  We’re pretty excited about him.  He’s A126, the result of a mating that occurred when we brought back a Thistle Hill alumni, whose mother had been a double bred Rotokawa 667.

A126’s dam was also the mother of one of our herd bulls.  She’s been quite a performer for us.  Another of her offspring is the cow on the right.
