Invest in Top Cat Genetics True Devon Breed Conformation Top Cat’s bloodlines breed consistently with the quality we and other breeders strive to achieve in our breeding programs. From his sire and dams pictures one can view what I believe should be typical of the True Devon Breed Conformation characteristics. Top Cat is “full” behind shoulders known as the chine area, he excels in the floor of his chest being deep and flat (the area of chest behind the point of the elbows). The chine and chest depth flatness I consider critical areas that need breed improvement. His width continues from the chine through the loin and throughout the rump. Top Cat is well balanced—meaning not too long in body length, which tends to cause “banana shaped” loins. All these confirmation characteristics have a huge impact on volume of % carcass meat yield. After all, the volume of meat produced on grass must be the one of breed’s goals. Calving Ease After two seasons of calving out our first calf heifers at only 2-0 years of age, Top Cat is definitely a calving ease bull. It is certainly a good feeling to be able to sleep thought out the night feeling confident that all will be well in the morning if a first time calving heifer gives birth during the night! Gentle Disposition These family members are some of the calmest cattle in our herd. One of the characteristics of the Devon breed that we truly appreciate is their gentle disposition. Part of why we are in this profession is our love of working with cattle. The Devon makes it truly enjoyable, unlike some breeds. The entire family around Top Cat exhibits this Devon characteristic at its finest. They are easy to work and a pleasure to be around. In Summary here at Elk Garden and LyleStanley we see the same sought after genetics in Top Cat’s offspring that we have appreciated in his family members the past several years. I believe that Top Cat could be beneficial to many Devon breeders and other commercial cattlemen who wish to have a calving ease bull without sacrificing muscularity or growth on grass.

“Supreme Beef on Grass” is the motto of the American Devon Cattle Association. Devons have been bred to produce exceptional beef from a grass diet for centuries. In fact, Devon cattle consistently produce better marbled meat carcasses with greater ease than any other beef breed. Devon beef is not just superb, its simply “devine.” To try some of our Devine Devon Beef, give us a call – you’ll be glad you did!
