Red Devon

Red Devon, also known as Ruby Red, are supposedly one of the oldest breeds in existence. Their name comes from their color and native home near Devon, Britain. Historical records show the Romans noted the red cattle when they occupied the area in 55 B.C. They were brought to New England by the Pilgrims in 1623 (in subsequent trips, not the first Mayflower trip) and were a popular tri-purpose breed (work-milk-meat) in the American colonies in the 1700s. They were also a popular choice to pull the wagons west on the Oregon Trail. The breed did not take part in the "feedlot madness" that happened in America after WWII and is still optimized for robust, rugged, healthy animals that naturally control diseases and parasites; making it easier to raise them organically on pasture alone and and not ever need a feedlot. Red Devons are recognized for producing some of the finest beef off pasture alone.

Our Red Devon cattle are on organic pasture year around and are fed our organic grains. They are born on our farm and certified organic and do not receive antibiotics, hormones, vaccines, GMOs and are fed only products raised on our farm (except for salt). Not only are they never deliberately exposed to synthetic chemicals, but neither is their feed.
