Welcome to The Knightcote Herd of Pedigree South Devon Cattle who are based in South Warwickshire.
The herd were founded in 1977 by John and Jean Hadley who were looking for a versatile breed to start their herd.

Over the last 20 years the Knightcote Herd have actively pursued the polled strain of breeding, producing stock that would work, walk and carry confirmation on a strong frame. They have successfully developed a herd that contain award winning Polled South Devon Cattle from quality breeding stock.
