David and Maggie Kelly have been farming at Netherhall for 21 years. They run a pedigree herd of Hereford cattle, as well as a smaller herd of pedigree Limousins, and they started a separate commercial calf rearing unit in November 2018. Altogether, they farm 900 acres, which provides a mostly grass based diet for their cattle.
The farm’s main focus is breeding pedigree Hereford bulls and females, having recently sold their third bull to Cogent, importing embryos from America and Australia to this end. Now in their sixth year of keeping Herefords, the Kellys have about 200 breeding females with the aim of getting to 300 by next year
