UPPER MIDWEST DEVON EXCHANGE

The first event staged by the Upper Midwest Devon Exchange was in May of 2015, when 10 Devon breeders from 7 different states (New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas, Iowa, and Wisconsin) consigned cattle to the first Upper Midwest event held at Hillside Pastures near Spring Green, Wisconsin. Fifty five lots, generating $187,000, were sold at that event and all but one Devon stayed in the Upper Midwest!... Over the past 12 years, the four founders of the Upper Midwest Devon Exchange have assembled Red Devon herds by purchasing cattle from all over the United States, blending Devon genetics from the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand to develop Devon cattle that are adapted to the forages and climate of the Upper Midwest. The reason for traveling so far to find high quality Red Devon was very simple: they just were not available in the Upper Midwest. But that has changed... The 2016 Upper Midwest event was held in collaboration with the national Red Devon USA..
