Welcome to the home of the Cockleshell Herd of Limousin Cattle on the internet, we have the distinction of being the first to come into the country when the breed was introduced in 1971. You can find out more about the history of the herd on our ‘the herd’ page.
We are members of The Biobest Hihealth Herdcare cattle health scheme and are accredited free of B.V.D., I.B.R and Leptospirosis and are risk level 1 for Johne’s . We are also in a four year TB testing area.
