Frequently asked questions
-
Beef is a nutrient dense food and one of our best sources of high-quality protein and essential nutrients like iron, zinc and vitamin B12 - organic grass-fed beef is leaner and higher in protein and will give a more distinctive taste. Organic grass-fed beef truly tastes how beef should - full of ‘meaty’ flavour as a result of a natural diet, free of chemicals and hormones and a slow growth to full maturity.
-
By definition, organic beef in the UK is fed on a diet predominantly made up of grass. However this won't necessarily make it 100% grass fed, this is not an organic standard. We supplement our organic beef’s diets when grass alone isn’t up to doing the job. As part of our regular crop rotation, we plant some cereals, such as barley, alongside nutritious legumes like peas. These can be grown together in the same field and harvested as a ‘whole crop’. That means the stalk and seed are cut and stored together, so there’s no by-product and no waste. It also means the cattle get a balanced meal with plenty of roughage.
-
The difference between beef and dairy cattle is that they are different breeds of the same species, cows. Dairy cattle produce milk, are thinner and longer whereas beef cattle are more muscular and have a stouter shape.
