South Devon Cattle Society of New Zealand

South Devon Newsletter: May 2026

Presidents message

Already six weeks have passed since our AGM back in March. My initial step into South Devon politics involved missing out by way of election on an eight person board, so to find myself sitting at a board table with one other and our secretary was somewhat disappointing. We had a quorum courtesy of zoom but a far cry from days gone by.

The AGM itself was a fairly standard affair, the President’s and Treasurer’s reports are included in this newsletter and the minutes are available on request from the office. We had a very enjoyable evening at The Farmer’s Son, where funnily enough a fair bit of South Devon discussion was had.

We visited Christine Eagle’s Rosewood herd on the out skirts of Feilding and spent Thursday morning looking over a very impressive lineup of animals. Of particular interest was Christine’s South Devon X Wagyu animals that she has been experimenting with.

Please don’t be scared to send Facebook material into Julia or Lindy to be posted.
