Golden Howe Pedigree Belted Galloways
Belties
Belted Galloways are a traditional native breed of cattle; famed for the wonderful flavoursome beef they produce and their ability to withstand winters outside on upland farms. They are a far cry from the large, fast maturing breeds preferred by modern intensive farming, where the animals are raised on high grain diets, spending a large part of their lives inside.
Our beef cattle live outside all their lives and are fed exclusively on grass and hay grown on our own land. We choose not to use nitrogen fertilizers or herbicides to manage our grazing, and as the cattle receive no grain based concentrated feed, we can guarantee that their diet is GM and residue free.
It is recognised that meat from grass fed animals has various health advantages over that from grain fed ones. Grass fed meat is higher in Omega 3, higher in linoleic acid and higher in anti-oxidants, plus of course, it is free from growth hormones, antibiotics and chemical additives …………..to read more about the health benefits of grass fed meat.
Our cattle are allowed to mature at a slow rate, which leads eventually to beef with excellent marbling, texture and flavour. This is further enhanced by dry hanging the meat for between 25-28 days prior to cutting. The breed has a deserved reputation for producing beef of the highest quality which is favoured by a number of top London restaurants.
We only sell beef from our own herd - we do not buy in animals to slaughter, therefore beef is not constantly available and pre-ordering is advisable. If you would like to be notified in advance of the next beef steer becoming ready, please send us your contact details and we'll include you on our list.
