Mission accomplished….

….we’ve just returned from delivering a load of six females to South Carolina, to Linda Hendrix and her son Dr. John Hendrix.  Their farm in Pacolet is rapidly becoming Thistle Hill South.

The shipment included four bred heifers, being off-loaded here by our good friend, Glen Covington, who in real life manages our local co-op.  For some reason, he enjoys long distance driving as much as I try to avoid it.

Included in the load was a lovely young heifer out of Thistle Hill’s “Niner Magic”, who is one of our three lead herd bulls.  And this little one keeps intact the record of our “64” cow, who only knows how to calve heifers.  And here, a “64” heifer calved a heifer, too.

  There’s another Magic son already on the ground at the Hendrix’ farm.  He was even smaller than the little heifer when we delivered him a year ago.  But he seems to have prospered in South Carolina and we look forward to seeing what he can accomplish for this mother-and-son team on their beautiful farm.
