Welcome to Mayfield Beef Shorthorns

Our cattle are bred in the beautiful Weardale in the North-East of England, where the breeding of Shorthorn cattle started several centuries ago. 

Why choose Beef Shorthorn Cattle?

New agricultural subsidy schemes and the termination of single farm payments is changing the farming landscape in the UK. There is an increased requirement for easy to keep, docile, maternal and winter-hardy cattle with excellent forage conversion in future sustainable farming. The versatility of Beef Shorthorns makes them the prime breed to use in modern commercial suckler cow enterprises, either as pure-breds or when used in crossbreeding.

Morrisons Shorthorn Beef Scheme

The Morrisons Shorthorn Beef Scheme is one of the most attractive beef schemes in the country. Morrisons champion Beef Shorthorn in their ‘The Best’ range, recognising that the succulent texture and exceptional eating quality of Beef Shorthorn is second to none.

Our Mission

Our goal is to breed high performance commercial and maternal Beef Shorthorn Cattle for all types of customers.

We use carefully identified North-American and Australian genetics to produce commercially viable cattle with an emphasis on maternal traits (fertility, docility, milk, udders), physical correctness (body conformation, locomotion), growth figures and beef traits.
