Situated on the slopes of the Six Mile Water Valley in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, the Kilbride Farm herd was founded in 1971 with the importation of heifers from Germany. Very few females have been purchased since then with the most notable being Carn Eunice from which the highly successful Eunice family originated. The herd has expanded through the use of the best bulls we could buy from the UK, Ireland, France and Germany along with AI.
The herd contains approximately 95 pedigree cows at the moment and although we have been very successful showing in the past we no longer compete at the summer shows to help maintain a high health status within the herd.
We have just recently won a record 7th "Perth" Supreme Championship and Kilbride Farm bloodlines dominate the prize lists at many shows and sales throughout the UK and Ireland. Stock and semen have been exported from the herd all over the world from as far apart as Denmark,Australia, New Zealand and America.
Our aim is to produce structurally sound docile cattle, from a grass based system, with the emphasis on beefing qualities , milking ability and breed character backed up by performance figures.
