Brownhall Salers Herd
In 2005 we purchased Uraine who was Supreme Champion in France
in 05. She is a well balanced cow with excellent beef and fleshing
ability. Her French scores rate her in the top 2% females in France.
Uraine has produced top class off spring on the farm to date which
will continue to form the backbone of the Brownhall Salers Herd
for years to come.
Ten years ago we made a conscious decision to start breeding Salers
and its one decision that I am extremely happy with. Working as
a farm contractor means working long hours and seven days a week
in peak times. We were looking for a breed that could still produce
well muscled stock, excellent maternal qualities and with a particular
emphasis on ease of calving. After plenty of research and speaking
with breeders we purchased our first two heifers from the well known
breeder Michael Mc Keown in 1998. The following year we travelled
to Auvergne a mountainous plateau of South Central France where
we purchased two heifers. We have travelled over and back over the
last ten years and we have imported ten heifers and a bull in total.
