What You Need to Know About South Devon Cattle

This week, Tigger is chatting with Dar Giess, owner of DLCC Ranch, a seedstock operation that breeds and specializes in South Devon Cattle. Dar uses South Devon Cattle for several reasons and we are digging into those reasons below.

Advantages of South Devon Cattle

Adaptability: South Devon cattle are extremely adaptable to different climates and environments. In Dar’s case, he needs cattle that can withstand and keep a good body score throughout the hard winter months. This makes them a great choice for ranchers who need a breed of cattle that can adapt to their specific location and conditions.

Efficiency: South Devon cattle are known for their excellent feed conversion rate. This means that they are able to efficiently convert feed into meat, which makes them a cost-effective breed for farmers. They are also known for their fast growth rate, which means that they can be ready for market at a younger age than many other breeds.

Meat Quality: South Devon cattle are known for their high-quality meat. It is well-marbled, tender, and flavorful. This makes it a popular choice among consumers who are looking for lean, healthy meat.

In addition to South Devon, DLCC also specializes in
