Farming

The Leo Group has strong links with the British Agricultural Industry, having being founded by a family with a strong farming heritage. The Group brings this experience to each of its farms across the UK, raising over 400 head of cattle on them, both pedigree and commercial. It is this knowledge which provides the Group with a unique understanding of the entire supply chain from start to finish; from raising the cattle to processing the by-products. Ultimately, there is no waste throughout the entire process.

Our breeding objective is to produce cattle demonstrating correctness, top quality conformation, record growth rates as well as a quiet temperament.

Over the years, the herd have built a reputation for breeding quality cattle year on year. This is proven by prizes won whilst at shows and sales, throughout the country:
