Norman Pittams
Dark Lane Herd was founded in 1978 by Norman and Brenda Pittams in Gloucestershire, now located on a forty eight hectare less favoured area farm near Brecon. A closed herd of fifty breeding females accredited by Premium health scheme for BVD and Johne’s disease and full performance recording since 1984. We believe in competing with other herds at agricultural shows with much success over many years including breed champion at RASE and Royal Welsh shows.
