The Sacombe herd was founded in 1970, by Paull and his parents, and is the  oldest herd within the UK herd book. Between 1970 and 1995, 23 females  were imported from Switzerland, Austria, Germany and France.

Now totaling 150 breeding females and 200 followers, stock are reared  commercially from a breeding policy designed to suit our farm. With  limited rainfall we breed flesh rather than feed flesh, so our cows are  medium in size with high fertility, longevity, docility and natural  fleshing ability €“ a must for today’s market.”

With 18 cow families in the herd we have a wealth of genetics at our  fingertips and are fortunate to have used the very best stock sires the  breed has to offer.

The herd has been performance recorded since 1970, is of a high health status and is DNA tested to enhance meat eating quality.

In 2001 a herd of Belted Galloways was introduced to compliment the Simmental herd and provide a native  breed to the farm bringing with it huge environmental and grass  management benefits.
