NJW 34H 2912 STANDARD 199M

Both bulls are sons of BIRDWELL NEW STANDARD 2912 ET in our opinion the New Standard calves were standouts from end to end at the NJW production sale
The 199M bull NJW 34H 2912 STANDARD 199M is owned with NJW and he was our pick of all the sale cattle at the NJW sale. He will be collected soon and semen will be available for purchase. If interested, call us @ Elkington Polled Herefords.
NJW 71K 2912 STANDARD 24M A low birth weight great numbered bull. We will be breeding half of our first calve heifers to him this year. His epd profile is among the best of the breed.

These new standard bulls will make an excellent cross on the pathfinder line and should produce thick moderate range bulls anyone will be proud to have!

Elkington Polled ans South Devons

Welcome to Elkington Polled Herefords and South Devons

Fellow Breeders:

We started in the Polled Hereford business in 1961 with an FFA project for me.( Keith) This small start grew from one or two bulls a year to what we now produce. We have always carried out a very rigid culling program. We cull on many things but our cows must be productive, heavy milkers, and trouble free. In addition, our cows must perform and continue to perform. We now run 200 moderate framed, good doing Polled Hereford cows and 40 South Devon cows.

We have always based our program on the range man and strive to produce the kind of cattle that will make him money. Our goal is to produce cattle that are reasonably sized at birth and grow rapidly. Performance testing has helped our customers and our program as well. We expect our cattle to be thick easy keeping cattle that will milk heavy, raise a big calf and survive winter, with minimal feed and expense, while breeding back and raising a good calf. Our cattle are efficiency experts. Our severe environment culls inefficient poor fleshing cattle. We have worked for fifty years and believe that we have a cross section of cattle that you will like. Elkington cattle will produce high performing calves and easy fleshing high producing cows that will work anywhere on less feed then they are accustomed to. Our bulls live in harsh conditions and are developed on a high roughage ration.

Farming

In 1920 Grampa Elkington Willam Henry bought a homestead and 320 acres on squaw creek in Bone Idaho .The farm was a dry farm with emphasis on wheat from that small start we now farm 3500 acres of ground, Hay (feed for our cattle) Oats Barley and Wheat. The Cattle are run on the ground that is too rocky or steep for farming.

Our operation has always been a family operation, as it still is. Brent and I are still partners and Layne is now playing an important role in the operation.
