About Us
Truro Herefords is run by the Hann family – Scott & Pip and daughters Tilly & Sophie. We are using Australian and International genetics in our pursuit of excellence in breeding modern, top quality Whiteface cattle. Truro’s stud herd was established in 1987 and runs both Herefords and Poll Herefords, with over 200 registered females. We are located on two properties 34kms east of the Newell Highway at Bellata, NSW.
At Truro Herefords the focus is to breed modern cattle concentrating on improving muscle content and IMF while also ensuring they have good skin and hair. Scot and Pip, along with their girls, aim to produce easy doing cattle with a good temperament who can perform well in any environment. Utilising Breedplan to further develop their herd, Truro strives for lower birthweights with positive calving ease figures and structural correctness. Preforming well on grass and in the feedlot, Truro cattle are backed by outstanding genetics with Scott and Pip always aiming to improve and source new genetics. Truro is very excited to have had Yarram Unique F181 (H) at Truro – one of the top sires in Australia – now at Mawarra Herefords.
