Our Breeding Policy


Greenyards 1 Archie

Greenyards 1 Archie

We chose to breed Herefords initially because of what we see as their many qualities and advantages over other breeds.

Our main aim and focus of attention is, where possible, to enhance and retain these good points especially:

  • Ease of management due to excellent temperament
  • Ease of calving to keep dystocia to a minimum and have as many unassisted births as possible
  • First class feed conversion
  • Good mobility and inherent good health
  • Exceptional maternal instincts

Other major factors in our breeding policy are to:

  • Try to improve conformation and carcase quality
  • Try to improve milk production from forage.

To acheive these aims we have used a combination of the OLD DOUNE BRITISH POLLED Herefords, which exhibit top class mothering ability, excellent temperament and good feed conversion efficiency, and the more modern GREENYARDS type.

The GREENYARDS Herefords offer improved carcase characteristics and better milk production.
