*When the face-flies
are really bad in the summer we do use a very limited amount of

the cows suffer from flies. Antibiotics may be used to relieve the
suffering of the rare animal that gets an ailment. This is a tiny
amount that will not enter the food chain.

THE
BEEF HERD

Our herd consists of Red Angus and Black Angus
crossbred cows. We select for moderate-framed cows that can
thrive on grass alone with very little supplemental feed. Our
cows must raise a big healthy calf every year, maintain their
body condition, and they must be of docile temperament. Calm,
contented cows equal better, tender beef.
The beef cows
are bred to our Pure Red Devon Herd Sire, Red Dude, and most
of the beef we will produce in 2010 and beyond will be Devon
beef.
THE
PURE DEVON HERD
We believe that
the Devon breed, one of the oldest breeds in the world, has
the ability to revolutionize the production of grassfed beef.
Devons thrive on grass and will finish (or marble) on grass
like no other breed.
Over the past
year we have put together a small but striking herd of Pure
Red Devon females. These young cows and heifers have the potential
to produce some solid, stylish cattle, evidence of which we
are seeing with each additional birth. Our intention is to expand
the Pure Devon herd and offer quality Devons for sale for breeding
purposes.
The foundation
of our Devon herd is our herd sire, RED DUDE. RED DUDE (Roffey
Q14) is a son of Rotokawa 688, arguably the best bull in the
breed, of the famous Rotokawa herd in New Zealand. The Rotokawa
herd has been selected for beef production on grass for 70 years.
RED
DUDE
.
RED DUDE
is a wide-shouldered, deep-chested four year old bull that
looks a lot like his sire. RED DUDE is a Frame 2 bull that
weighs 1725 lbs. in average condition. He pasture-bred over
fifty cows this summer with fabulous conception rates. RED
DUDE has been used in the ET program at Roffey Cattle Co.
with great success, and one of his progeny, a heifer calf,
won her class at the 2009 Great Event.
RED DUDE can be used on
Pure Devon cows to produce stylish, thick, showy cattle.
He can also be used on commercial cows to produce thick,
meaty calves that will finish beautifully on grass. On large-framed
cows he will deliver shorter, thicker cattle.
