….the main herd watched this morning as we put a new, huge water tank in the Eastern pasture.  They’ve been patiently waiting….and watching that succulent stand of Italian rye on the other side of the wire.  Our chief-of-everything, Duane Ard, noticed the advance guard on the horizon while filling the tank.  A few minutes later we were surrounded!

….no blogging for the next week as Wooz and I head for the annual Devon meeting in Lexington at Jacob Owens’ farm.  If you’re looking for Devon females…and can’t wait for the Thistle Hill listing…there’ll be some good-looking females at the sale. There’s also a good-looking candidate for the board and I hope Wooz gets your vote!  No one has worked harder or put in longer hours for the Devon breed…and no one cares more the pure Devon cow. Details about the meeting, the sale and the election are at the association website:  www.reddevonusa.com
