[QUOTE="Australian, post: 625567, member: 8793"] I have no problem with the bigger frames but will concede that sometimes the polled ones that I have seen about could be assessed as having ugly heads or long faces. I have both polled and horned and none of these come into the ugly category. I still think the "name" South Devon is the problem and their past history of having calving problems and their lighter colour.I have many darker coloured cattle and calving problems have never been a problem using the bloodlines that I do. I have no problem with the name except that cattlepeople still call them "Devons" supposedly putting them in the same boat as Devon cattle the dark red ones from North Devon. I have no problem with these Devons they were the backbone of beef cattle in our country along with Shorthorns and Herefords. South Devon breeders over the years here in this country have been hobby farmers and are very narrow minded and not receptive to change and lack the skill to promote this wonderful breed of cattle.
