It is believed that the Sussex breed have descended from red cattle that roamed the Wealden forest in the time of the Norman Conquests.
It is no surprise that they flourish so well on our Kentish Pastures, but they do also love to browse on the hedgerows and trees in our diverse landscape. They are great forage converters.
The cows happily graze on the extensive grasslands whilst the growing and finishing cattle thrive on the rich water meadows to create the very best flavoured beef.
