The Tregondale Herd of
prize winning Pedigree South
Devons was established in
1995 when I retained half of
the Trewint herd after the
dissolution of the
partnership.
With my son Richard we
have maintained consistent
breeding with ease of
calving and natural
fleshing. We run 80 cows
single suckled, mainly
calving in the spring
producing prime beef, sold
to either P. Warren, Guild
of Quality Butchers,
Launceston or Cornish King
through C.Q.L.P. at 2 years
old with an average weight
of 380Kg.
15 Heifers are kept for
replacements and most of the
remaining females are sold
for breeding. 4 or 5 of the
best males are kept entire
to sell for breeding each
year.
