We had Scottish Highland Cattle for many years. We really liked them but now we have sold them all and started a small herd of Devon Cattle. The Devons have the hardy constitution of the highland cows but have the advantage of a much more commercially saleable calf. We started with five cows with calves at foot who are PTIC. They are older cows. We bought them from a registered herd of 300 cows. The owner had two properties that were 7 hours apart and when he sold the smaller property he had around 50 surplus cows. We had the opportunity to select from that group. We're keeping the cattle registered as my 8 year old daughter is keen to take a heifer to a show some day.
This is my daughter with a calf born 3 weeks ago.
Here are the five cows we bought:
We're enjoying looking out at red cattle in the paddock.
