…pictured at just over a year old…that we held back to monitor development. H242 (nearer the camera) and H243 were chosen to grow out here at Thistle Hill…selected from a class of about a dozen bulls. H242 in the foreground doing  well in the early stages.  We’re particularly pleased with his heart girth.  He and his herdmate, H243, were both sired by a pure English bull in our inventory, Essington. H243 is descended from the Champson Tulip line, one of the most renowned in England.  Tulip has been a little elusive for us so we are keeping an eye on this young bull. David
