Grass-Fed Native Breed Beef from Yorkshire Dales
All our grass-fed Native Breed Beef comes from traditional breeds like Dexter, Highland, and Belted Galloway, raised on small farms and smallholdings dotted across the wildly beautiful Yorkshire Dales. These cattle are slow-grown and free to roam, producing results that are nothing short of exceptional.
Traditional breeds thrive at nature’s own pace, with our beef maturing over 29 to 60 months - significantly longer than the 18 months typical of commercial cattle. This slower, sustainable growth process enhances both flavour and appearance, producing dry-aged beef with darker flesh and rich fat, often yellow-hued - a true reflection of their grass and hay diet.
By choosing to buy Native Breed Beef online, you’re not just enjoying premium-quality meat; you’re also supporting small-scale, sustainable farming in the Yorkshire Dales.
