Back in 2010, Ivan gave us the pick of his herd…to breed and flush.  The cow I selected was Norah 21 and Ivan smiled when I made my choice.  He had already pulled her pedigree out from his herd book and it was laying there alone on the dining room table when we went inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Norah comes from a long line of champions…more than 40 when we stopped counting.  Her background includes sires from both the historic Clampit and Potheridge herds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Norah\u2019s progeny are on the ground now at Thistle Hill.  T35 below is her son (see \u201cStanding by…\u201d) and will be used with our heifers soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Norah stands with Tilbrook Cashtiller as the foundation of our English herd.\u00a0 RIP mate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
