England Farms – Munfordville, KY
England Farms was established in 1918 in Hart County, Kentucky. The farm is operated by
Mike England, along with his son, Brian England and his daughter and son-in-law, Hannah
and Chris Davis. Together they manage 1000 acres of corn and soybeans, a 150 head cow-
herd, a greenhouse supply business and operate Mid South AG LLC which distributes Mix
30 throughout Kentucky and Tennessee. Mike and Brian manage the row crop operations
while Chris and Hannah manage the cowherd.
From their time at WKU Chris and Hannah became very familiar with the Red Hill program
through classes taught by Dr. Gordon Jones and Chris’s internship with Red Hill Farms.
England Farms began their cowherd in 2010. The herd was Red Angus or Red Angus
influence. Chris and Hannah began looking to Red Hill for their herd bulls and semen. They
have compounded Red Hill genetics throughout their herd in order to achieve a moderate
efficient cow all while using hybrid vigor to their advantage. England Farms uses Red
Angus and Red SimAngus genetics to take advantage of the maternal traits Red Angus are
known for while at the same time adding pounds and maternal heterosis with Simmental.
England Farms strives for moderate, easy keeping, no non-sense type of cattle. They cull
heavily on disposition, soundness, hair coat and udder composition. The cattle at England
Farms are raised on fescue-based pastures. The spring and fall herds are kept on a tight
calving window at only 60 days.
