Calves

An early morning stroll…

…with her new baby boy.

THF 18

THF 18 is 13 years old now and still performing beautifully. She is out of the Guardsman line that the Enghs brought into the breed to improve milking. Technically he was a Milking Devon and so also brought long legs into the breed. Guardsman later went on to Leonor Creek.

Weighing Calf

This bull calf weighed 75 pounds and Church uses a hook on our pickup to hold up the newborns. (Why back in my day we lifted the scale head high to see the dial without any new-fangled gimmicks!) 😀

The sire was TDA Cutcombe…one of our traditional English Devon bulls. Again note the deep ruby red color.
