The Best of Grass-Based Genetics
We created the Bakewell Reproductive Center to help you produce high quality, grass-finished beef. Our mission is to identify and provide the best possible grass-based genetics the world has to offer. Our journey has led us throughout North America and to the furthest reaches of New Zealand and Australia. Read about our bulls.

If you currently have Rotokawa® Devon genetics in your herd or plan to use them in the future, than you should strongly consider what the American Herbataurus Society can do for you and the future value of those animals.
