Beef.

The farm has always reared cattle in the traditional manner for the local markets and butchers. Over the years the local cattle markets have closed, so we changed to selling direct to the local abattoir, 10 miles away to minimise the stress and travelling time for the animals. The beef herd has increased in size significantly over the last 20 years as arable farming alone was not cost effective. We run a small spring calving suckler herd and buy store cattle in the spring to graze and fatten.

The Aberdeen Angus Beef Box

The secret of good beef is to keep the cattle happy and healthy. The result is very tender, juicy meat, with a natural marbling of fat that melts during cooking, creating a wonderful flavour.

We are proud to offer our customers 2 sizes of box containing selected cuts of our home produced beef, including roasting joints, steaks, stewing and braising.

Unlike most supermarket beef, our beef is hung for 21 days further enhancing the flavour and tenderness, and you are assured that it hasn’t travelled hundreds or even thousands of miles to reach you.

It is then cut by our skilled butcher into roasting joints, steaks, stewing and mince. A large box constitutes 1/8th of an animal giving a total weight of 22-26kg and a small box 1/16th being 11-13kg. All our beef is priced at a flat rate of £8.00/kg.
