Here's a bit of what they found... 

• Devons and Devon Cross steers were more efficient at feed conversion
• Devons topped the whole survey with the best figures of any breed for meat ph levels, color and texture (Color and ph levels are extremely important indicators of overall meat quality)
• Devons have a higher natural fertility
• Devon sired calves returned a significant dollar advantage
• Devons grow faster (Angus steers finished first, but did not match the feed efficiency rates of the Devons)
• Devon Cross steers were featured for their finishing ability and carcass quality

AR COMMANDER 168P NP

Commander is our Milking Shorthorn bull, reigistered in both the American Shorthorn Association and the American Milking Shorthorn Society.

He is homozygous for A2 milk and will be able to pass this along to his daughters.

He is a beautiful animal and very gentle. His hide is very soft and pliable; it can be pulled easily pulled away from his body which speaks to tenderness and his shiny coat shows a well functioning glandular system.

Commander is a dual purpose animal. He has the genetic density to vastly improve your beef operation and his daughters will produce the quality, A2 milk needed to raise beautiful calves, beef or dairy.

Our Hereford bulls come from a very old herd in Mexico that has had no outside genetics brought in for 43 years.  They have the "old-style" body type (short and wide); exactly the body style needed in a grass-based system. (They are very similiar to the type of Herefords that were prominent in the 1950s.) Their genetic traits have been selected over the years for hardiness and an ability to thrive on grass, and not much of it.  The ranch in Mexico, Valle Columbia, where they were born and raised is high desert country and has very little grass, yet the cows and bulls there are all very healthy and fat. They are used to working for their food and walking for miles to get to water. When we brought our bulls over to the United States, they showed almost no signs of adaptation problems.  What little weight loss they had during transport was quickly regained and more. They are surprisingly docile, given the "range" type system they have grown up in and have adapted well to our more "hands-on" management. These bulls have the genetic density to improve your herd and give you a high return on your grass.

Rotokawa 243

This bull is sired by Rotokawa 93, son of the famous Rotokawa 688 bull, and is the last son of the great Rotokawa 592 cow that has produced so many magnificent herd bulls.  This combination of genetics has produced a high performance bull whose progeny will deliver a high return on grass.

This bull has the genetic density to improve your herd in reproduction, muscle-mass, tenderness, fat and grass utilization.  His linear measurement scores and avg. daily gain tell the story.

Rotokawa 243 is the ultimate genetic package and gene pool creator for your cows, Devon or commercial.  He will take your replacements to another level.  A decision to use Rotokawa 243 will put you in a market position to sell your grass with quality, consistency and profitability.

 Harrier Fields Glorys Abraham   

This bull is a double-bred son of the famous Rotokawa 688 bull. His dam is out of the American Buckeye line, which gives him a nice slick hair coat; perfect for your southern, grass-fed operation.
