Meet Jake!

This is Jake, our new gentle giant bull!
He is now well adjusted - as you can see!
He is our first Red Devon. Jeff plans on crossing our herd from Limousin & Herferd to this breed. Red Devons are prized for their valuable traits of quality and quantity meat, and a high percentage of butterfat and milk solids, all produced on a diet of 100% grass and hay.  This is why the old breed played an enormous role during the Colonial period, being the best breed for all purpose of rare excellence and second to none at the yoke. Regards to the grazing properties and the quality of beef the Devon is superbly suited for the 21st century needs of agriculture.
