Hartshorn Ranch

Hartshorn Ranch, breeder of milking Devon cattle, is located in Inmaha, OR, Umatilla County and the Columbia River Gorge near Pendleton. Owned by Charles and Elizabeth Neveau, the ranch has focused on milking Devon cattle for over a decade and is a member of the American Milking Devon Society, with regular health testing for genetic disorders and hoof care. The herd grazes across rotational pastures, and calves are handled daily to build calm handling and steady milking temperament.

Cattle dwell in spacious barns designed for natural light and protection from severe winter weather, reflecting a hands-on approach to husbandry. Several cows trace back to foundation lines from established Devon programs and produce milk used by nearby creamery cooperatives. Visitors often note the ranch’s quiet setting and attentive care in reviews praising the animals’ gentle nature and consistent milk quality. The Neveaus maintain detailed records on lineage, feeding rates and lactation yields to guide selective breeding and preserve Devon traits.
