THE
BEEF HERD

Our beef
herd currently consists of Angus/Simmental cows that have
been selected for their ability to thrive on pasture alone,
and for docility; a gentle temperament creates better beef.
The cows are bred
to our pure Red Devon herd sire, Roffey Q14 “Red Dude.”
“Red Dude” is a son of Rotokawa 688, the most famous
bull in the breed, from the noted Rotokawa herd of New Zealand.
The Rotokawa herd has been selected for beef production on grass
for the past 70 years. As the generations progress our beef herd
will become high-percentage Devons.
