Welcome to Kilkerrin Poll Herefords owned and operated by Paul and Ellyce East, est 2016.

Paul a 3rd generation farmer grew up on the family beef and market gardening farm at Mount Jagged, SA. His passion in cattle and genetics grew from a young age, at home on the farm, through the LED steer competition at the royal Adelaide show, all helped lead to his 20 plus year career as a professional AI technician ultimately owning a leading herd improvement company in Australia.

When the opportunity came to purchase the East family farms neighbouring property, Paul and Ellyce took it with both hands. The property was home of the Kilkerrin Poll Hereford Stud owned by former Herefords Australia board member and chairman, Trish worth and partner Michael.

Paul had been artificially inseminating the Kilkerrin herd for a number of years using industry leading bulls so knew the depth and quality of cow Trish and Michael had bred. It was an easy decision to purchase the herd as a whole and continue to build on the strong foundation.

At Kilkerrin we strive to improve on the strong traits of the Hereford breed. Known for resilience, efficiency and adaptability they work in different systems. Selection pressure is placed on structural soundness, ease of calving with high growth, superior carcass traits and meat quality. We pride ourselves on the temperament of our animals and is essential to breeding the type of cow we love.
