Roy Blyth started his butchery journey in 1982, when he opened the market stall with his wife Jean and sister Jean. With help from their 3 children Alison, Melissa & Neil.

Roy and Jean started with 2 cows in their allotment in Hartlepool, before moving to a farm in Barnard Castle in 1993 where they purchased 70 heifers and a herd of sheep. Jean always dreamed of a swimming pool in her garden, but she got cows instead. 

In late 1994 Roy and Jean purchased their first Charolais heifers named Gemma & Geneva, and their first Charolais bull, Mowbray Park Gerard. They soon realised that Charolais were the future.
