The Red Ruby Devon is a tremendously popular breed of beef cow. Prized for its docility and longevity, exceptional fertility, ability to finish off grass, and of course, its marbled, succulent beef.

Whilst a breed with a great heritage, the Red Ruby Devon is today more relevant than ever to commercial livestock farmers as the need to produce sustainable, quality beef using minimal inputs from scarce resources, is becoming the main driver of profitable beef production. Our Society Secretary is happy to help with any of your inquiries and will be able to put your in touch with members who have stock for sale.
