Devon Cattle
No longer the best kept secret in the Australian Beef Industry!
The success of the Devon breed world-wide is associated with its many enduring qualities. In Australia, these very same qualities are of great value to today's demanding beef industry and are seeing the breed continue to evolve and once again flourish.
Devons - A Valuable Low-input, High-output Nature
In ordinary times, the benefit of breeding Devons is paramount in the bottom line of any beef producer. Consistent high fertility rates further enhanced by calving ease, high milk quality and natural mothering ability and coupled with the Devons valuable ability to efficiently grow and finish early - converting less feed into more beef, continually profits Australian beef producers. One of the many challenges faced by producers is having ample quality pasture to breed and raise their cattle all year round. Many producers striving to meet the demanding feedlot market are left, at times, trying to sustain big-bodied, high-maintenance cows that need high-inputs to be able to continually produce. With a low-input, high-output nature, Devon cattle have superb grass-finishing qualities and their feed-conversion ability is well-suited to profitably producing beef in any situation.
