Devon Cattle
Natural Beef 
At Widdershins we believe in letting a cow be a cow.  All our livestock are allowed free access to our natural Maine pastures & hay.
We have sold pasture raised beef steers at Widdershins for four years.  They are raised on milk from our Jersey and Holstein milk cows until weaning at 8 to 10 weeks, then are out on pasture and hay until ready for market at approx. 18 months old.  Since we do give our milk cow commercial grain for added milk production we can not say our beef is strictly grass fed, but we do plan to become strictly grass fed as our Devon herd grows. 

Steers are delivered to the butcher by us, buyers pay their own butcher bill, and pay us $1.85 per pound of the beef hanging weight.  (pre-cutting)

If you are interested in purchasing a steer or half a steer from us or would like more info. about our Devons contact us at widdershins@prexar.com.

Devon Cattle

Our Devon herd started with a bred cow and a heifer calf purchased from Cliff Wood of Fairfield Center, ME in 2005.  Mr. Wood has raised beef Devons for over 50 years and we are very lucky to have obtained such a nice pair of cows to start our herd.  In 2007 we had a pure Devon heifer born, a grand-daugter of Rotokowa 688, and purchased another pure Devon heifer from Cliff Wood, and a bull from Joel & Sally Moore's Applewood Farm.  To learn more about Devons click one of the following links.
