Wooz’ favorite bull….
….currently away on a business trip. He’s Traditional Devon’s™ Highwayman…one of our pure, traditional English bulls working with partner Bill Walker’s herd in South Carolina. Some of the “experts” consider this Frame One bull too small but not the lack of air between the stomach and the ground. Highwayman is all meat…easy to maintain and easy on the pasture. Lots of his first calves are on the ground here at Thistle Hill. Incidentally, that’s a Traditional Devon™ heifer in the background….another showpiece!

The icing on the cake….
….we’re still feeding a little hay though warm temps have been greening up the pastures. That’s one of our Senepols in the foreground—always a chow-hound—and Devon in the back. We “tested” Senepol years ago and, while we like them a lot, decided Devon would do better in our environment. One of the things we got right but we’ve kept the Senepol and use them in crosses for beef. The picture is by Gisela Volkert, taken on a recent visit from Germany.
