We maintain a herd of 20 Highland Cows which we cross with a Shorthorn Bull to produce replacement stock for our main breeding herd of 60 cross cows which are then crossed with traditional breed bulls, Shorthorn, Aberdeen Angus and Hereford to give us our final product.
In the winter the cattle are fed on silage, haylage and barley (all produced on the farm) in airy straw-bedded buildings. The cattle are allowed to mature naturally in order to give the best quality beef, with good marbling, texture and taste.
Our cattle are always over 2 years old when we take them to the abbatoir at Grantown-on-Spey. The carcasses are then brought back to our own butchery on the farm, where they are hung for a minimum of 21 days for the full flavour to mature, before being divided into the various joints and steaks of Organic Beef.

"Since I came home to Scotland four years ago from living abroad I have not known where to find meat I could really enjoy and feel ethically able to enjoy. So you may imagine the quantum leap in quality of life you have given me." /Kate Ashton.
