Thistle Hill Alumni Club….

….we took a side-trip on the way to the recent Devon meeting to visit the Tennessee chapter of the club.  The girls at Tomina Farms near Waynesboro were clearly over-joyed to see us….or at least Wooz.  We were just excited to see how well animals we had raised were doing so well under the care of Regina and Tom Tesnow.

Regina clearly has taken Wooz’ indulgent treatment a step further, though.  As we’ve reported earlier she even gives her pampering has paid off in a beautiful herd and we’ve gained dear friends in the processs.

The undeniable star of Tomina Farms is this bull, calved three years ago at Thistle Hill….an AI son of Rotokawa 243.  The Tesnows call him “Casino” and they, and we, can be forgiven more than a little pride in his development.

Earlier, the Tesnows purchased another great Thistle Hill bull, “Magic”, and we understand back in Green Field, where we develop our young bulls, the boys are heard to say “when I grow up, I’m going to Tomina Farms”.
