About us

At UDEL Polled Herefords, we are leaders and breed innovators with over 80 years' experience in successful breeding on our family farm in Co. Wexford, Ireland. Founded in 1935 by James Carroll, and expanded and developed first by his son David and now David's son, Dáithí, we have developed sophisticated breeding programmes using bloodlines from the UK, Canada, US, Australia and New Zealand.
