Ep 191 Red Ruby and the Milking Devon

This week Rick is in England filming on our upcoming docu-series Plymouth to Plymouth.  Unfortunately I couldn't go with him, as some of you may have heard that I broke my foot and had to have surgery, but I hope to get to visit there soon.

He met up with John and Bonnie Hall from the American Milking Devon Cattle Association and they set out to speak with some of the farmers  about the Red Ruby Devon, which is where the Milking Devon cattle originated from in the Devon area of England.  In 1623 the King sent a young Devon bull and three heifers to the New World from Plymouth, England to what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts and the rest they say is history.

This week's podcast we hear a conversation that John and Bonnie have with Sally Everton. Sally raises 10 Devons on her farm and is a member of the Devon Cattle Breeders Society.
