The Kilbride Farm Herd was founded in 1971 with stock imported from Germany with a few other select females being purchased over the following years , the most influential being Carn Eunice. The Eunice family is now the largest cow family in the herd producing four R.U.A.S. champions and numerous Northern Ireland “ female of the year” winners.
Three Scottish Neff daughters were purchased from the Kilcorn herd at a later date, with Kilcorn Nan being particularly successful producing Kilbride Farm Barrister who has produced many good breeding cows and whose sons have sold for up to 10000gns. Two heifers were purchased at the Milnafua dispersal and again they have bred well within the herd.
The herd contains approximately 60 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.
Our aim is to produce structurally sound docile cattle with the emphasis on beefing qualities , milking ability and breed character backed up by performance figures.
