The Shorthorn breed of cattle originated in the North East of England in the late 18th century. The breed was developed as dual purpose. Suitable for both dairy and beef production; however there were always certain blood lines within the breed which emphasised one quality or the other. Over time these different lines diverged and by the second half of the 20th century two separate breeds had developed – the Beef Shorthorn, and the Dairy Shorthorn. All Shorthorn cattle are coloured red, white or roan, although roan cattle are preferred by some, and completely white animals are not common. Shorthorn beef are quiet and easy to manage, another trait of the breed is its superior meat eating qualities, which is popular in the premium foodservice market. Currently we run a small herd, however have plans to expand our herd in 2016.
