[QUOTE="Northern Rancher, post: 625504, member: 5898"] We've used South Devon in a crossbreeding program with Angus and Hereford for almost as long as you. At first we were keeping quite a few F1 SD heifers but we have since used them more as a terminal cross. The udder quality was a bit hit and miss and the cows got a bit bigger than we like. My daughter still has a purebred SD cow off a Leachman cow we flushed she's a great little cow if we could of made more like her we might of pursued the purebred thing harder. I bought a bull at the Midland test in Montana called Prairie Granite 112G-I've never run a bull of any breed that was better on his feet and legs or more of an athlete out breeding cows. Now we A'I black and baldy cows that we wouldn't keep replacements off of to South Devon and utilize them that way-carcass quality is very good with them. [/QUOTE]
