A UK pedigree Simmental herd, Est in 1970, based on quality genetics run alongside Pedigree Blue Texels, Southdowns and Badger Face Texels

The Sacombe herd was founded in 1970, by Paull Borlaseand 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. Although a vital shop window, showing is done in moderation as we prefer to breed a cow suited to the market place rather than the show ring and with the need to ever increase farm profitability we have taken a more direct role in marketing beef from the herd through our on farm butchery Bridget B's traditional beef range

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.
