BLACKBROOK LONGHORNS HERD HISTORY

We have selected our stock bulls with great care. Over the years they have brought size, power and strength, together with passing traits to their females of good udders and milking ability. We look for an animal of quality with good locomotion, feet, and overall balance. Suckler dams should be easy care and within the Blackbrook Herd that is essential.

The meat from the Longhorn has won accolades by all of the top Chef’s including Heston Blumethal, Jock Zonfrillo, and Gregg Wallace. The Blackbrook Herd itself won the title of ‘Best Meat in Britain’ (Country Life) in 2012.

Blackbrook Longhorns were a familiar sight up and down the Country in the Showring for a period of 26 years. During that time they took 6 National Championships as well as prestigious Interbreed Championships.The herd has won the Midland Herd Competion for an outstanding total of 18 times.

Over the last few years we have been concentrating of the export of our genetics to Countries across the World - America, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, France etc.
During this period to ensure our biosecurity our cattle have not been shown, but it gives us enormous pleasure to see our genetics out in the showring with other herds taking top honours. Our ambition is to continue to produce top quality Blackbrook Longhorns that are adding to, improving and founding new herds throughout the UK & the World.

Blackbrook Longhorns “the Herd for all reasons”.
