Devine Cattle Company

Devine Cattle Company, Chianina cattle, Birchwood, WI in northwestern Wisconsin near Duluth, combines livestock farming with careful breed selection. Ted Devine has raised Chianina for over fifteen years, maintaining American Chianina Association registry compliance, conducting genetic screening and reproductive evaluation to support a sound herd.

The farm continues a multi-decade family tradition, employing sustainable practices such as cover cropping, rotational grazing and habitat conservation to promote soil health.
