We are pedigree breeders as well as producers, and are members of the Sussex Cattle Society.

We sell bull semen for dairy herds; and bulls and females from our 1947-established Goldstone Herd of pure bred Polled Sussex Cattle.

Visitors welcome by appointment.

Breeding policy

We registered our first Pedigree Sussex Cattle in 1942, and today our herd is approximately 90 breeding cows.

In the late 1950s a group of like minded breeders embarked on a polling* scheme. Although the idea never took off nationally, we continued with it and now boast one of the largest herds of polled Sussex.

In the early 1960's we joined the MLC Beef Improvement Scheme (now Signet) measuring growth rates, eye muscle and back fat to give a potential breeding value of the animal.

Member of SAC health scheme:

  • BVD  accredited
  • IBR vaccinated with marker vaccine

Notable achievements:

The herd has had much success at society sale and shows around the country, including:

  • Eblex award most improved genetics
  • Champion beast Ashford Primestock Show
  • Major prize winners at Heathfield, South of England, Royal Norfolk and Kent County
  • Breed record at Society Show and Sale

*Polling is the process of breeding animals without horns from a breed that traditionally has ancestry with horns.
