The
Devon Cattle Breeders Society was founded in 1884.
The herd book has been in continuous print since that
time.
The
origins of the breed is thought to be a combination of the
Longifrons and the Urus. Similarities
in colour shape and size suggest a possible connection with the
Red Lincoln, Sussex and Saler breeds.
Whatever
their early origins, Red Ruby Devons are much prized for the
qualities which are valued as much today as in the times of our
forebears.
There
is no finer sight at the quiet of an evening than a field of Red
Ruby Devons peacefully grazing early summer pastures.
However, farming is a business and no breed would survive
if it were not a commercial proposition.
The Red Ruby Devon is recognised internationally for its
ability to produce the very finest beef on a low input system.
Its enduring qualities ensures the Red Ruby Devon has a
future as strong as its heritage is rich and can justly lay
claim to being “part of farming’s future”. |
