This quilt block shows a bull standing in some grass with a few butterflies around him. The butterflies are yellow and are drawn in with pen. The grass is jagged with leaves poking up. In the grass is a big bull that's brown with long hair. It also has a long hairy tail. The head of the bull is covered with long hair that obscures one of its eyes. Atop the bul's head is a large pair of white horns pointing out and then upwards.

Today I continue my quest in creating and posting one block a day of the fabulous That Town And Country Quilt by the lovely Susan-Claire Mayfield. This is day two hundred and ninety-seven of that project.

We raise Scottish Highlanders at Sisu Farms.

People have often described them as looking a little prehistoric because of their horns, long hair, and short legs. They originate in Scotland.

All of Sisu Farm’s cattle are grass-fed and finished. They’re a meat breed cattle, and this is one of our bulls.

His name is Barryl, and he’s very friendly.

Occasionally he wants to go and visit other cows, and he does; he just goes. So my son has to go get him and offer him a cookie so he’ll come home.

He’s the daddy of half of our herd. He’s beautiful and loves to be curry-combed.
