There are of course reasons why Irish beef is so much sought after. Firstly there is the Irish climate. Here, where the mild climate of the Gulf Stream calms the heavy gales of the Atlantic the meadows of the organic farms provide a true natural grazing for our cattle.

The fact that our cattle keeping in Ireland is grass based has a profound effect on the health of the animals, on the taste of the meat, and on its benefits to your health.

 

The mild weather gives us a prolonged grazing period and even during the short wintering the feed is grass based.

Another very important factor influencing taste is the fact that Irish organic farmers cross-breed cattle, based on traditional breeds like Hereford and Angus.

Cattle like it on organic farms because animal welfare is firmly enshrined in organic standards, and our overall environment likes organic farming too as it is a truly gentle way of farming.
