Hi Gang; In recent years the majority of cattle breeds in England are from Europe. The older traditional English breeds are in serious decline, many are only kept in small herds as "pets", like the Dexta & Galloway & Highland. European beef breeds are Blonde d'Aquitaine, Charolais,Limousin, & Simmental - pure bred or crosses; these beef breeds produce more quality beef faster than traditional English breeds like Aberdeen angus, Hereford & Devon. The dairy herds are almost entirely Holstein Fresians to-day because of their ability to produce huge quantities of milk during their lactations. Jersey, Gurnsey & Shorthorns are in the minority. The whole way of farming has changed dramatically since the 1970's - today its "agri-business" rather than farming ! Cheers David
