Cows,  England

Just a tease…

 We’re just back from North Carolina where we picked up nine young heifers and bulls…probably the largest infusion of genetics into our herd since we began.  Five of the calves, including this one, are English Devon that we own in partnership.  The others are daughters and sons of the famed Rotokawa 688 and a few of those are line bred.

It was a great experience, sorting through our calves with partner Bill Walker, and selecting which would head to South Carolina and which to Virginia.  DeKalb Wells and his family did a wonderful job raising these unique youngsters from embryos and we thank them.

Wooz and I also want to thank our good friends, Rachel and Glenn Covington, who brought their big trailer down to transport them back home.  Both have “the touch” with animals and loading and unloading these nine youngsters could not have been smoother.

We’ll have more on our newcomers soon but there’s a full day ahead:  got to catch up on chores, move some fence, and get going in time for a college graduation party for a grandson and a birthday party for a great-grandson!  Pictures of that, too, coming.  Of course!
