Cattle

History of South Devons

South Devon Cattle originated from England along with Herefords and Devons, and like Hereford Cattle and Devons, they were named after the region that the cattle originated. South Devon cattle are not related to Devons, though produce a very good quality animal when crossed.

South Devon cattle are very placid animals and even paddock bred animals react calmly when moving between paddocks or when being penned. Bulls that are being shown are usually placid when led.

South Devon cattle produce a meat that marbles instead of having a thick layer of fat. This results in a luscious steak, that is not only nutricious, but delicious as well.
