Sires in the Barnstaple herd have many characteristics that gives great choice when it comes to selecting bulls at joining time:
|
|
At our regular spring sales, BARNSTAPLE DEVONS sells bulls that are in the top of the breed for growth. These are our " 1 per cent bulls ". They have found their way into top commercial herds where their steers have all the growth needed to maximise available feed. Their daughters, when used as replacement breeding females, give breeders a long term herd benefit.
