North American South Devon Association

Mission Statement

“The North American South Devon Association promotes the superior quality characteristics of the South Devon breed with integrity, forethought and leadership for a prospering livestock industry satisfying consumer demand.”

NASDA Purposes and Objectives

  • The purpose of this Association is to foster the development and promotion of the South Devon breed of cattle.

  • This Association is open to all persons interested in, or breeders of, South Devon purebreds or crossbreds, and who desire a uniform system of evaluation and certification.

  • The first objective is to maintain registration records of cattle of South Devon breeding. In addition to information on ownership, identification and ancestry, the registration record shall include such performance data on traits of economic importance as are required under the Rules & Regulations.

  • The second objective is to provide, maintain and publish a Herd Book in which the prescribed information will be recorded. This may include provisions for uniform data processing, analysis and certification of cattle records for the breeders. There shall also be provided, maintained and published, as a part of the Herd Book, a separate register whose purpose will be the listing of only those animals derived from originally imported full blood stock from England and their offspring and animals of 31/32 blood or higher.

  • The third objective is to make periodic analysis of this data as a national sire summary and publish them for the guidance of the breeders and promotion of the breed.

  • The fourth objective is to prepare and dispense printed materials and to provide other support and services as deemed necessary and useful for the development and promotion of the breed.
