Hallsford Whitebred Shorthorns
The Whitebred Shorthorn is a completely separate breed from the Beef Shorthorn or Dairy Shorthorn. Whitebred Shorthorns are bred mainly in the border counties of England and Scotland, and although the origin of the breed is somewhat obscure, it is likely that they were derived from the white dual purpose Shorthorn cattle, locally known as the Cumberland Shorthorn.
The Whitebred Shorthorn bull is bred primarily as a crossing bull to mate with any breed of female, but principally with the Galloway to produce the noted Blue Grey, and the Highland producing a Cross Highlander, the progeny being well suited to the full range of British climatic conditions.
“ After getting back from Uni i wanted my own herd and realised that a local native breed was what I was looking for and I choose the Whitebred Shorthorn” Matthew Tomkins

My goals for herd
Plan is to grow the herd so I can re-establish the breed as a growing breed.
I will establish a range of stock bulls that enhance the breed characteristics.
I have started to but the breed through the butchery and hope to increase sales of this amazing breed. For it to become a named meat.
I plan to sell females on to other rare native breeders and also for cross-breeding.
I may also cross-breed with local Galloways to increase our levels of meat that follows our strict breeding process.
To grow this rare native breed.
