Thistle Hill Farm South

We just made a quick down-and-back trip to North Carolina to check on the embryo cows we are raising there.  Clearly they’re thriving on the eastern Carolina grass.

And is it just my imagination or are the Angus standing back as this princess crosses the pasture.  She’s a line-bred Rotokawa 688 daughter, one of 10 similar calves that we are now raising in our own line-breeding experiment.  So far, so good.  In a little over a year we’ll have to decide whether to continue concentrating the genetics in these animals or quit while we’re ahead.
