"The cow line is the most important part of the herd — build the females, and the rest follows."
At Llandillo we believe a stud is only as good as its cow families. Every bull we breed and every heifer we sell traces back to a foundation female we've invested in and built around. These are the lines that anchor our herd.
Our foundation Corrisande line — and the family behind Llandillo Soldier S042, the best bull we've bred to date, who sold for $17,000 to Kyan Poll Herefords.
Brought in as a PTIC embryo from Tycolah, B40 became the foundation Corrisande cow at Llandillo. She left a remarkable legacy before leaving the herd — including being the dam of Llandillo Principality, a herd sire we used in our own breeding program.
A donor cow at Llandillo and one of my favourite cows on the farm.

One of our most influential lines — the family behind Powershift, Sydney Champion Ready Ready, and a string of top-priced, show-winning females.
F189 was the Aster cow in the herd when Lee took over the management of Llandillo, and she has proved one of the most important females in the rebuild. Her line runs deep through the stud today.
She is the dam of our home-bred herd sire Llandillo Powershift, of Llandillo L083, and of Llandillo Aster N075 — two daughters who each carry the family forward in their own right.
A standout daughter of F189 and one of the most important producers in the family. Her progeny include:
Llandillo Ready Ready — Sydney Royal Grand Champion Bull 2022 and a walking sire at Llandillo. View in our sires →

Llandillo Bam — sold in 2025.

Her sons also include Llandillo Flynny (by Columbus), sold to Roseview Poll Herefords.
A donor cow with 9 progeny — a cornerstone producer in the Vanessa line.

From the traditional Llandillo herd — a big, roomy cow family producing donors, show winners, and a Grand Champion Female at Canberra Royal 2026.
A cow from the traditional Llandillo herd — a great big roomy female who has proved herself as one of the most important producers in the stud. D282 is the kind of cow you build a family around: deep, structured, and consistently passing her qualities to her daughters.
Her daughters include donor cows, show winners sold interstate, a Royal champion, and females now carrying the line into the next generation through their own progeny.
One of our favourite cows on the farm — a donor cow who breeds with remarkable consistency. L078 is the engine of the Silky line today, producing donors and key females in her own right. Her daughter Q065 has become a donor at Llandillo, and Q065's daughter T142 is shaping up as one of the best young cows in the herd.
The 100 Club heifer — won by Roseview Poll Herefords. V057 went on to be crowned Grand Champion Female at Canberra Royal 2026, a result that puts the Silky family firmly on the map at the highest level of the breed.

A productive, versatile family producing show champions, stud bulls and foundation females for new operations — the Julie line has been one of the most consistent performers in the herd since Lee took over the program in 2016.
The Julie family starts with L086 — the cow that was here when Lee took over the Llandillo program in 2016 and one of the first females he identified as a key piece of the rebuild. She has produced daughters that have gone on to win at national level, sons that have sold into leading studs, and a family line now represented across multiple properties.
L086 herself is the dam of donor cow P034, foundation female U054, show cow S074, and Timber T049 — a spread that tells you everything about the depth of this family.
A Lancefield daughter out of L086 and one of the key donors in the Julie line.

Sold to Pinnacle Poll Herefords for $13,000 — and she wasted no time proving her worth. S024 was exhibited by Max White at the National Hereford Youth Show where she won Grand Champion Female.
