World Devon Congress and 400th Anniversary of Devon Cattle in North America

One tour stop is at Dale and Grace Freier’s Every Season Farm in Seneca County, NY.

On behalf of the Red Devon Board of Directors, thank you for your input on the
2024 World Devon Congress. Never doubt that your voice can make a difference!
We have refreshed our 400 Year World Devon Congress Celebration Tour to
make it easier, and more affordable, for you to participate during our trek from Florida
to Massachusetts. As requested, we modified the agenda to shorten the trip and
lower the cost. The primary package now has us starting at Lakota Ranch in Virginia
and ending in Plymouth, MA for the 400 Year Celebration of Devon cattle in this
country. The southern leg, or initial portion of the original trip, will still happen for
anyone interested in attending and visits to individual farms along the way can now be
booked separately for those that are only able to make a small portion of the tour.
Details, registration info and pricing are enclosed and available at
RedDevonUSA.com. As a courtesy to our host farms, all registrations must be
complete by March 25!

You may reach out to me directly at enghs@icloud.com.

The zoom link will be available at RedDevonUSA.com under World Devon Congress.
You may also reach out to me directly at enghs@icloud.com.
You can choose how to tailor your journey to see firsthand the adaptability of
Devon cattle from the deep south through the Mid-Atlantic to New England. The tour
will culminate with a celebration at the Plimoth Patuxet Museums in Plymouth, MA.
Here you will experience living history museums that replicate the original 17th century
settlement of the Plymouth Colony. Memorable events are being planned, including a
walk with cattle through the plantation to commemorate the 1624 arrival of Devons.

Along the way, each host farm is offering a program that will entertain all and we
envision this tour to be the perfect opportunity to showcase and celebrate Red
Devon cattle! We’ve put together a descriptive itinerary of each farm visit along with a
News Release. You know your communities best and we encourage you to use the
information we’ve provided to help us share this event with your neighbors, fellow
cattle breeders, 4-H Clubs, FFA Associations, local news outlets, County Extension
Offices, and others you know who would be interested in the tour or local farm visits.
Help us help you to raise the profile of Devon cattle!
