Cumbrian marginal land farmer Tony Wood is convinced that the Beef Shorthorn is the key to survival since decoupling of agriculture for the family farm.

A mission to find a particular type of duck led to the
foundation of the successful Newfield
herd of pedigree
Beef Shorthorns in north Yorkshire 20 years
ago.

The Blelack
herd prefix which is synonymous with
top quality pedigree cattle breeding now lends itself
to a herd of Beef Shorthorns.

Easily managed Beef
Shorthorns are proving to be the
ideal cattle for an organic farm in Cumbria’s
Eden Valley.

Gerald Turton is one of the
Beef
Shorthorn’s greatest
enthusiasts, having done much to promote the breed.

The Whitebred Shorthorn has played an integral part of the farming system on an upland Dumfriesshire unit for more than half a century.
