We generally sell beef frozen and in 10KG mixed boxes, each of which will contain: a couple of 1KG roasting joints; probably 4 steaks; some braising/stewing beef and 2 or 3 kilos of mince. These can be collected from us or delivered locally for £130, or can couriered further afield overnight for £140.
If you’re local to us in South Cumbria and want a smaller amount, please get in touch, our current price list (per kg) is below.
We’re trying to do the right thing by nature, which is all around us. We deliberately chose to keep Belted Galloway cattle (“Belties”), if you’re walking in the Lake District you’ll probably recognise them by the white band around their middles. Belties are able to turn rough upland grazing into superb quality beef, they’re also probably the lowest impact and best cattle breed for the local wildlife (there’s more on that on other pages here).
Belties are slow-growing, taking two and a half to three years to mature instead of supermarket beef which is often ready in under two years and slow-grown means better flavour. Belties also have a double coat (an outer guard hair sheds water and an under coat traps warm air), so they don’t need a thick layer of fat under the skin for warmth like many other breeds do and what fat there is is spread through the meat making the meat leaner and more succulent. And then because they’re grown slowly on grass rather than quickly on grain-based feed, the meat is higher in Omega-3 and better for you.
So Beltie beef is better for the environment and better for you too.
Belties are growing in popularity so all of our girls stay here or go to join breeding herds elsewhere. Unfortunately for the boys, most of them are not needed for breeding, which is where the beef comes from, but they do get well taken care of and have a low-stress life whilst they are with us.
