[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 7856, member: 97"] Dun- I think you may be right about the size factor limiting South Devons popularity. Its winters like we're having right now that makes those 1100 lb. cows look a lot better. Several in our area have been feeding since the end of October. Those 1500 lb cows can clean up a haystack fast. I've noticed up here that many of the ranchers that back in the 70's went to Simmental and Charolais are gradually breeding back to angus (red or black) to moderate some frame size. About the only Charolais I see used any more are charolais bulls on black cows and they don't keep any heifers. Buy angus replacements. Even many of the continental (especially simmental) breeders are now trying to moderate size some because people are going away from those huge cattle. [/QUOTE]
