Blizzard in Maryland….

…not that kind.  This kind.

Our young bull, THF Blizzard W180, was delivered to Claggett Farm near Upper Marlboro, Maryland yesterday.  His new owner, Michael Heller, is getting one of the nicest bulls we’ve raised here at Thistle Hill.  Blizzard was off the trailer and calling his new herd before we could get our camera ready.

Michael is the manager of the farm, which is owned by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation.  A nice coincidence since Thistle Hill a few years back won an award for its protection of streams which are a part of the Chesapeake basin.

The farm serves as an educational laboratory not only for area farmers but for school children and we’re proud to have one of our own involved in its good work.  Michael is also very involved in CASA, the Chesapeake Association for Sustainable Agriculture.  So Blizzard, indeed, is in good company.  Made it a lot easier for Wooz to see him go.
