oxen- old cattle breeds



Can anyone help me find a source of information on Red Devon and other
older all - around cattle breeds?.  Twenty years ago I had a neighbor in
Vermont who had a magnificent matched pair of Red Devon oxen.

I am attempting to restore some pasture here in Montana.  I am using goats
for controlling leafy spurge and other noxious weeds, but also need some
bovines due to the short-grass prarie nature of the place.  I have no
desire to enter the "normal" cattle market.  The place is too small, (35
acres )and we don't eat meat any more.

Around here one can find Angus and Hereford.  That's it.

Any ideas about sources of older breeds, or folks that raise and train
oxen, would be greatly appreciated.
