Getting to know you….

….our first English bull, TDA Churchill, is introduced to that mysterious creature…a female.  In this case, this heifer is a Devon-Senepol cross.  This will take some getting used to.

Churchill is still young…just 17 months…and so we’ve put him in a pasture with just three females.  They were all born late in our normal calving season, too late to be bred with the other heifers in their class.

So Churchill has his own little harem to begin his education.  He’s an extremely gentle bull, even for a Devon.  Moderate-sized but beautifully proportioned.  Exactly what the three Devon breeders who make up Traditional Devon America hoped for when they began their “prospecting” among English herds.

This month we’ll be implanting more embryos at Doyle Unruh’s farm in Georgia.
