As a contrast to our Dexter herd, we also run a small select herd of Beef Shorthorns. Beef
Shorthorns are a rare old native breed of British cow with a very distinguished history, indeed
Shorthorn ancestry can be found in the roots of lots of other breeds around the world.. They
come in three colours, red white and roan, they are excellent mothers with a generally docile
nature. They are also extremely hardy and productive. Shorthorn crosses have a reputation for
superb sucker herds.
Brambledel Beef Shorthorns was established in 2005 with the purcase of two roan heifers bought
from a long established breeder. Since then we have tried to build up the herd with carefully
sourced and selected stock that will hopefully prove themselves as quality foundation animals.
