Hallsford Beef Shorthorns
There were a number of reasons why we chose Beef Shorthorns, but principally we felt that the animal ideally suited the environment and the system of farming we wished to adopt.
- Low input, Quality Output
- Easy Calving. Fertile
- Lovely temperament, Easy handling
- Hardy, Sound and Long Lived
- A number of Markets for the Finished Product
We strongly felt and still do, that in the current farming climate we needed a farming system that was Low Input based (Less susceptible to input prices changes) and had the opportunity to develop quality outputs where a premium could be sought in niche and developing, not commodity, markets.
“We are also delighted that Morrisons stock Shorthorn Beef as their premium beef product range. Shorthorn is regarded as one of the top beef eating products in the world.” Andrew 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.
