The gang’s all here…

Grandson Church made a quick trip to South Carolina this weekend to complete our herd of pure traditional English Devon cows.

TDA 6 should have come north with her herd mates…but she stayed behind at Bill and Nancy Walker’s Century Farm to have a baby heifer. The two curious calves to the left welcoming the newcomers are Thistle Hill veterans.

TDA 6 is out of our original Devon cow Cashtiller. This calf’s sire is Victory…out of Buttercup by Falcon. All spotless English Devon pedigrees… almost impossible to find today even in England.

That’s why we started archiving the best English bloodlines some years ago…and why today pure, traditional English females can be found in America only at Thistle Hill!

In frustration some English breeders, unable to find the right Devon bulls, have even switched to Angus! In three generations, according to the EU, they’ll be able to claim the progeny are Devon.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see the day when Thistle Hill is shipping its’ genetics back to England. All the great names of history are right here in northern Virginia.
