Milking Devon, an American cattle breed, originated from cows imported in 1623.

Initially used for draft work, they later proved versatile, providing milk and quality meat.

American Devons, medium-sized and well-mannered, fell out of favor over time.

Thankfully, people today raise and appreciate the breed’s wonderful qualities.
