Devonside

Devonside raises American Milking Devon cattle on a 35-acre farm in Mitchell, Ontario, in the heart of Perth County, roughly an hour northeast of London. John Drummond started the operation after setting out to rehabilitate degraded farmland, and the American Milking Devon proved to be the right fit for that land-restoration work, thriving on grass and hay without any grain supplementation.

The herd is managed entirely without corn, GMO feeds, hormone implants, or routine vaccines, with minerals and kelp offered free choice. Cattle spend the grazing season on pasture from May through early November under a rotational system designed to build soil fertility, then move to comfortable straw-bedded shelter through the winter. All animals are born on the farm and allowed a full 30 months to reach maturity, reflecting the program's unhurried, forage-only approach.

When selecting breeding stock, Devonside focuses on conformation, temperament, and vigor, and recommends allowing heifers to reach two years of age before breeding to support proper frame development. For anyone exploring South Devon cattle for sale in Ontario, this is a program rooted in sustainable land stewardship as much as in the breed itself.
