Leading the way to fresh grass is an English pure traditional Devon, TDA 5. She was originally assigned to our partner John Forelle\u2019s care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cow right behind is an American Devon whose tag is illegible. But you can appreciate the uniformity. Our aim is to produce moderate-sized animals… \u201dsturdy\u201d Wooz would call them…thick and deep to my eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grandson Church will start breeding about Thanksgiving, starting with the heifers. A family meeting is scheduled soon to finalize the pairings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cows condition is (are?) just about perfect…a tribute to Church\u2019s first year as herd manager. Quite a tough job combined with his post-graduate work in biology at nearby George Mason University. Great job on all fronts, Church! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
