One year ago, my son and I drove almost 1200 miles round trip to Missouri. We were picking up a bull from @halfnhalf_cattleco – RRR Holdin Strong, better known as Magni ❤️ A few months earlier I’d reached out to his owner, Bridgette, to see if she’d consider allowing me to bring him home for the summer. When she agreed, I could hardly believe it… after all he was my very favorite bull, and I’d be able to use him on my girls, all summer! When we arrived to pick him up he was even lovelier than I’d expected… and *so* gentle! Bridgette put a pan of alfalfa pellets into my trailer, opened the gate and he walked right in 🥰 The travel was tiring, and it was hard to get away from the farm for the two-day trip (twice!), but I’m so incredibly thankful we did. Not only because now, a year later, we’ve had some of our best calves ever hit the ground, but because Magni has since passed away 💔 So grateful for Bridgette trusting me with him for the summer and grateful I took the chance to bring a mature bull home – now I have his beautiful offspring to carry on his genetics ❤️ #magnitheminijersey #minijersey
