The NATIVE BUTCHER

Old Native Beef

 

Our "old Gloucester cows" enjoy a happy life outdoors grazing the banks of The River Severn. Elsewhere in the UK, most beef cattle are slaughtered under 30 months of age, young for an animal with a life expectancy of 20 years. We kill them anywhere between the ages of 8 and 16 years old, this has an impact on the marbling of the meat, giving a distinct and unique flavour.

 After all, only animals that have been well bred and cared for can result in something that tastes truly amazing.

This is more than an ethical approach to farming, it is a testament that patience, extensive farming and good care of the animals makes for delicious beef.
