It is with much gratitude that we find ourselves, in 2012, well down the road of Life with Tulis and we still revel in all these precious bovines have to teach us as they share our daily lives. Visiting them in the veld and having the calves run to meet us for a joyous reunion, remains a highlight for all the members of our family. City friends comment on how relaxing it is to be with them. Photo shows 2011 Spring calves, sired by GNC 08 18, of Horseshoe Farm.
