Home of The Hursley Cattle Partnership

The Hursley Herd was created in 2010 through the acquisition of the Northamptonshire based Wavendon herd from Christopher Marler. 

This native British Shorthorn breed exhibits great mothering traits with easy calving and docility. These traits work well with the Hursley Partnership low intensity farming approach. Our beef herd enjoy winter pasture land with adjoining woods, calving indoors before returning to spring grass. 

The breeding herd of 40 are covered by our 2 stock bulls:  Millerston Fine Ideal and Charlesbury Macjettic. All enjoy the highest veterinary standards and benefit from a low stress lifestyle on 158 acres of permanent pasture.

Each year we retain our maternal herd number through replacement with our own offspring, selling on all remaining calves in early winter.
