CLICK FOR PEDIGREE

Roffey Cattle Co. and Ellett Valley Beef Co. are pleased to introduce our new herd sire, Rotokawa 375 “Revolution.”

“Revolution” is a quintessential Rotokawa Devon bull, exhibiting excellent volume and depth of body to complement an abundance of smooth, solid muscle. He shows broad shoulders, springy ribs, strong hips, and tremendous body capacity, all balanced on a moderate frame. Revolution is mild-mannered but masculine, and carries himself as a bull should on solid, correct feet and legs.

Revolution is a son of Rotokawa 982 and the outstanding Rotokawa 159 cow. His maternal grandsire is the full brother to Rotokawa 93.

Revolution is two years old, and currently we’re using him in our ET programs and in light natural service.

Red Devon Bulls: RED DUDE

Our senior herd sire and foundation bull, Red Dude (Roffey Dude Q14) is a son of Rotokawa 688, arguably the best bull in the Devon breed. The Rotokawa herd was selected for over 70 years for production on grass, a trait that Red Dude passes on to his progeny. His sons are masculine and heavy-muscled, his daughters wide-hipped and feminine with lots of capacity. Halfblood steers by Red Dude out of our Red Angus commercial cows finish on grass at 15-20 months weighing 950-1150 pounds.

Red Dude is a Frame 2 bull weighing 1845 lbs. as a five-year old. He is broad-shouldered, deep-chested, heavily muscled and very wide across his back. His hindquarter is exceptional, and his feet and legs are very correct. He sires stylish pure Red Devon calves and thick, chunky halfbloods. If you want to reduce frame size Red Dude is a great choice.

Pure Red Devon Herd:

Red Devon cattle are the ultimate animals for producing tasty and tender grassfed beef. Devons have always been selected for production on grass, not production in a feedlot. These docile cattle thrive on grass alone and are fertile, gentle, problem-free type cattle that will finish (marble) on grass like no other breed.

Our Red Devon herd features some of the best genetics available in this country, as well as considerable influence from the Rotokawa herd that originated in New Zealand. This combination of American Devon genetics and Rotokawa genetics produces solid, powerful cows with lots of maternal instinct, and masculine bulls that can cover a lot of cows while holding their condition. Also, these genetics produce ½-Devon and ¾ Devon steers that routinely finish on grass at 15-20 months and make succulent beef.
