Victoria Reck Ames is committed to preserving the heritage milking Devon breed through adherence to national association guidelines and routine health screenings. Herds graze on rotational pastures and calves are raised with daily human interaction to foster a calm temperament.

The farm's historic rolling fields date back to the early 1800s, offering cattle a stable environment and access to scratch shelters during colder months. Visitors often remark on the breed's rich milk quality and sturdy constitution, traits nurtured by balanced forage and trace mineral supplements. Victoria Reck Ames also participates in breed evaluation events to track lineage and performance, ensuring each animal meets traditional Devon standards.

Each calf is introduced to family routines, learning to respond calmly to gentle handling from week one. Sustainable fencing practices and a no-hormone management plan reflect the farm's long-term view on pedigree strength and environmental health.
