Producing Our Organic Beef

Our organic cattle are mainly British Whites, a native rare-breed ideal for grazing our marshland. We also have a few Aberdeen Angus and Hereford cattle.

The pasture-fed cows calve in spring to make the best use of the spring grass and summer sun, the cows graze all year on our parkland and marsh pastures which contain a wide variety of grasses and herbs.

In winter cattle are fed silage made from grass on the farm, in very wet winters they may be housed to avoid damage to the land.

Because they are only fed on grass they grow and mature slowly over two and a half years to give excellent quality beef, they are slaughtered at an organic abattoir.

We mature our beef in the cold store on our farm before it is expertly butchered.
