About Us

In 1987 following a trip to the Paris agricultural show and seeing the Belgian Blue breed for the first time coincided with us wanting to move away from our small dairy enterprise. We looked at expanding our small Hereford cross suckler herd which consisted of home bred Hereford cross Friesian cows put to a Hereford bull.

In 1988 we made our first purchase of five recipients near calving with pedigree embryos from Donald Tyson of the Donnah herd, first pedigree calf arrived June ’88 establishing the Twyning Ash herd of Belgian Blues.

From day one we have always seen the importance of recorded figures and this philosophy hasn’t changed to this day making us the longest recording Blue Herd in the country. It has always been our goal to produce meadow quality bulls with easier calving ability and high growth rates, good mobility with length and height. In the 27 years we have been selling semen we have earned a reputation within the A I industry with dairy farmers producing the cross bred calf that the commercial beef producer demands.
