[QUOTE="76 Bar, post: 1515948, member: 18664"] On Fry's sale page he makes reference to both Red Devons as well as simply Devons. OK State beef breeds web page (excellent resource) list two species of Devons: [url]http://afs.okstate.edu/breeds/cattle/devon/index.html[/url] [url]http://afs.okstate.edu/breeds/cattle/southdevon/index.html[/url] Haven't a clue which if either or both of the above had "Red" tacked on since time immemorial the breed has historically been red coated. Absolutely. Which is precisely why I won't patronize a seed stock program that lacks a substantial history of successful commercial cattle success prior to embarking on and marketing purebred cattle. It bears repeating...EPDs are one of many tools. Used judiciously and with a thorough understanding and one's personal goals, they can be a boon. Sans the latter, a bust or worse, lead to future wrecks. Its my understanding that often as not, most traits have multi links to a variety of other traits. Some you can live with, others could be quite detrimental in the long run. Which is say, pick your poison wisely. ;-) [/QUOTE]
