Traditional Breeds at Conygree

We keep traditional breeds of sheep, pigs and cattle. Not only do they suit the conservation grazing requirements here at Conygree, but they make great tasting pasture fed meat with a valuable local heritage. We also want to help preserve the genetic diversity of breeds such as the Cotswold sheep, Traditional (original population) Hereford cow and Gloucester Old Spot pig.

Our Pigs

Gloucester Old Spots

The Gloucestershire Old Spot is a large meaty animal with a broad and deep body and large hams. Its white coat has large clearly defined black spots. They have a very fine carcass which produces top quality meat for all purposes including pork chops, roasting joints or sausages.

Our Sheep

The Cotswold

The Cotswold breed of sheep is descended from the flocks that grazed the Cotswold hills in Roman times.

Our Cattle

Herefords

We have a small herd of pedigree traditional Hereford cows. These rare horned cattle are from the original bloodlines that formed the breed over 200 years ago, and developed into the modern Hereford we see today.
