A new arrival….

….one of 15 calves on the ground so far.  And so far, it looks like a particularly good crop.

This minutes-old heifer is by Thistle Hill Jackpot out of one of our young cows from the “2” line.

Once the calving is complete, we divide the cows according to the bulls we want them with.  We have quite a few options, thanks to the English Traditional Devon animals in residence here.  And before we get started we have to bring in a dozen two-year old heifers who have been kept at a nearby cooperating farm.

In all, we’ll be breeding about 35 females starting about Christmas time.  We might add that this is the time to speak up if you want a female for your herd….bred or open.
