The Kileekie herd
Registered pedigree Traditional (OP) Herefords, bred for conservation and for the table. Breeding stock is available from time to time; pasture fed beef is sold in boxes direct from the farm.
Kileekie Frank
Frank is a registered Traditional (OP) Hereford stock bull, health-accredited through SRUC PCHS to Elite status and Pasture for Life certified. He was the second calf born at Kileekie on the establishment of the herd, and now 15 years old he is still going strong. He is a sire of our own breeding stock and has produced bulls and females for other herds across the country.
Kileekie Model 2 - "Snowdrop"
Snowdrop is a registered Traditional (OP) Hereford cow and the only living daughter of the AI bull Paddock Nimrod, health-accredited through SRUC PCHS to Elite status and Pasture for Life certified. She is a dam of our own breeding stock and has produced bulls and females for other herds across the country.
Breeding stock
We sell registered bulls and females from proven Traditional bloodlines, health accredited through SRUC PCHS for BVD, IBR, Lepto and Johnes Level 1*, and TB testing exempt. Cattle we have bred have gone on to found and strengthen herds across the country.
If you are starting a Traditional herd or looking for an outcross, get in touch; we are always glad to talk Herefords.
Pasture fed beef
Beef from the farm is 100% pasture fed and Pasture for Life certified. Slow grown on grass and forage alone, it is beef as it used to taste, with the marbling and depth the old breed is famous for.
