Traditional Devon

An update on our English calves…

DSC_2785…at Walker Century Farms in South Carolina.  Bill and Nancy Walker are our partners in Trditional Devon America and caretakers of these two heifers.

They’re English Devon calves sired by the great Cutcombe Jaunty out of the famous Tilbrook Cashtiller.  There are three more heifers here at Thistle Hill along with two bull calves.   They’re all products of our joint effort to import Devon genetics from England.

Because of export restrictions, we could not import the cows we discovered, so we bred them there, flushed the embryos, brought them to the United States and implanted them in American cows.  These year old calves are the result.
