about US

The Mills Family Cattle Herd is a combination of Wynyard Shorthorns and Mills Poll Herefords. We strive to breed cattle that thrive in a range of environments and always have our clients' needs at the forefront of our minds.
The Mills Family started breeding Shorthorns back in 1980. They chose the breed for 3 key factors; fertility, eating quality and doing ability under all conditions.
The Family diversified into Poll Hereford Genetics in 2011. The reason being that Poll Herefords have a great ability to fatten on grass and are commercially accepted the meat industry.
We concentrate on breeding cattle with high marbling to improve meat quality & above average fats which indicate doing ability. Our goal is to breed cattle that will thrive under any circumstances and sell well at any weight.
