ORM object value as default for model field in Django 1.7

The following obviously doesn't work in Django 1.7 due to the way apps are loaded now:

entity = models.ForeignKey(Counterparty, default=Counterparty.objects.get(counterparty_name='A Company Ltd').pk, related_name='entity')

It throws a django.core.exceptions.AppRegistryNotReady: Models aren't loaded yet. error.. Is there a way to achieve the same thing in 1.7?

Seems lazy evaluation does the trick, simply making the fetch an anonymous function that is called at runtime appears to do the trick

entity = models.ForeignKey(Counterparty, default=lambda: Counterparty.objects.get(counterparty_name='A Company Ltd').pk, related_name='entity')

Thank you schneck for the tip!
