Our South Devon herd was founded
in 1989. Foundation stock came mainly from Stretchford, Coombe
Farm and Roskymer females. We have had success with herd sires
from Highgate, Sexton and Cilgwrrwg, with the aim of building
up a uniform and productive herd.
More and more commercial beef producers are
turning to South Devons, because of their docility and ability
to convert grass to meat. We are adding more features to give
customers more confidence in the stock we offer for sale.
- Using the DNA test for the myostatin double
muscling gene helps us select cattle which are free of this
gene, which we believe leads to more reliable easy calving
and better consistency of the herd overall.
- Selecting polled animals wherever possible,
while making sure we do not lose any other South Devon qualities.
