Devonside

Devonside breeds Devon cattle in Mitchell, ON, in southwestern Ontario near Kitchener. Devonside is run by John Drummond, who has been breeding Devon cattle for several years and holds membership in national livestock associations, ensuring each animal undergoes routine health testing and meets established standards.

Herds graze on managed pastures, rotate through shaded paddocks and open fields, and receive daily handling to foster calm temperaments and promote natural behaviors. Grounded in traditional methods, Devonside emphasizes sustainable pasture management and works to preserve genetic diversity in the Devon breed for future generations. Calves are reared alongside their dams and enjoy regular interactions with people, helping them adapt smoothly to farm life. Clients often note the animals’ gentle nature and robust health, reflecting the breeder’s focus on welfare and careful selection. This blend of heritage stewardship and attentive care makes Devonside a respected name among Devon breeders in the region.
