All our meat is reared on the croft in Strathnairn (Inverness-shire) with the main produce being beef. Our Shetland herd are grass and hay fed with occasional treats from a bucket to ensure good handling and to minimise their stress when we need to work with them.

Shetland cattle are a rare, native breed that are slower growing than some other breeds but they are lighter under foot and are good at making use of our land that would have minimal use otherwise. We usually send them off around the 30 month mark which can take patience but well worth the wait for the flavour.

As they are from our fields to your fork, feel free to ask any questions about our livestock, the meat itself, or if you would like any inspiration for cooking, it’s a great conversation topic.

We are a member of the Quality Meat Scotland Assurance Scheme to ensure high welfare standards for our livestock and which gives our customers quality meat on their table.

We are also an official Scottish Crofting Producer.

Beef

Hand crafted by the team at Macbeth’s, Forres. All cuts are frozen, most are vacuum packed.

Beef Steaks:

• Rump (£20/kg) Most two steaks per pack, we do have a couple of single steak packs (Limited supply remaining, please check availability).
• Minute (£19/kg) Average 250g per pack (these are great for adding to stir-fries or fajitas, quick to cook, simply cut into strips before popping in a pan)

Beef Sausages:

New! We now have several different flavours and styles! We now can offer the family pack size (usually 8-10 sausages), jumbo sausages (perfect for the BBQ) as well as some packs of loose sausage meat (perfect for making sausage lattice pie). All three flavours contain gluten; the new flavours are:  

• Beef and garlic
• Cajun
• Original beef (only a few family packs remaining, not available in jumbo).

Jumbo sausages: £3.70/pack of two (minimum weight 350g)

Family pack: £6/pack (minimum weight 500g)

Although our currant beef stocks are now low, we will shortly be getting our latest two back. The cuttings of these should include some seasonal favourites, so for those that like to stock up on some special treats for Christmas, watch this space or get in touch to go on a waiting list.

Questions?

Seen something you want but not sure on the exact pricing or what size you need? Let me know either what size you are after or for how many people and we can calculate it for you so that you can then decide.

Looking for any recommendations, ideas, or unsure about cooking particular cuts? There are a couple of faux pas that are good to know about when cooking meat. It can be very easy to judge a cut because of how it has been cooked. Regarding beef; it is often good to take the hot and fast approach or the slow and low option.

For any of the above questions, something else you are unsure of, or if you would like to purchase any produce, please get in touch via Facebook, mobile or the contact page (please enter either your email address or phone number so I can respond to your lovely comments).
