BEEF

Depending on the season, premium grass fed and grain fed beef is available in both carcass and part-carcass form.

Grass-fed Beef

The majority of cattle are raised and fattened on natural pastures. Variations in seasonal geographic factors influence the style and quality of beef produced off grass.

Grass fed beef is lean and is generally favoured by many consumers because it is seen as healthy and low in fat.

Grain-fed Beef

Grain fed beef is derived from cattle which are fed for a minimum specified number of days on a nutritionally balanced, high-energy feed. Uniformity of feed results in a greater consistency in the characteristics of the product.

Grain fed beef is characterised by the white fat and the deposits of fat through the muscle tissue. This intra-muscular fat is known as marble and it can contribute towards improved tenderness and taste.

Offal is also collected from abattoirs for export: livers, hearts, kidneys, tongues, cheeks, tails, thick skirt, thin skirt, tendons, spleens, lungs, lips, trachea, ligamentum nuchae (paddywack), tripe (whole, pieces, omasum, honeycomb), intestines (scalded and raw). Other offal is available upon request.
