LINTON LONGHORNS

HISTORY
Founded
in 1978, the Linton herd of English Longhorns has become one of
the most sought after names in the breed. Phil and Joy Evans
started with four old cows from around fifty that had been
“discovered” in Lincolnshire. It turned out these cows
had originated from the famous Watling herd. So from small
beginnings twenty-five years ago, the Linton name has gone on to
take every honour in the breed.
In
1993, the family moved from Herefordshire to Pembrokeshire in West
Wales. Now in “semi-retirement”, Phil and Joy only
take their cattle to the Pembrokeshire Show in Haverfordwest, the
second largest in Wales behind the Royal Welsh.
