Frequently Asked Questions
Our beef is all from Australia. Our animals are born and raised on natural pastures and prepared for market at our grain feeding facility in the rich farming country of Queensland’s Darling Downs. All processing occurs in our own plant in the Lockyer Valley an hour from Brisbane.
Our animals are all born and raised on natural pastures. They exclusively eat grass until they are prepared for market with a careful grain feeding program to manage their growth and consistency of the beef quality.
All of our animals are born and raised on pasture – which is grass. Our grass finished animals remain entirely in that environment until they go to market. Our other animals enter a controlled grain feeding program for at least 100 days to manage their growth. They receive carefully prepared diets that are 60-70% wholesome Australian grain and the remainder is mostly hay and silage (from green foliage crops).
Grain finished beef has a more “buttery” flavour and higher marbling, which increases tenderness. Grass fed beef has a distinct flavour closely related to the pasture it was raised on.
Our controlled grain feeding programs vary depending on the cattle variety. Cattle are in our feeding program for at least 100 days.

All meat and many plants naturally contain hormones. The natural hormones in cattle can be carefully supplemented to improve their growth rate, and these supplements are called HGPs. The same hormones often occur in other common foods; the hormone level is naturally much higher in cabbage and eggs.*
All cuts have differing amounts of lean meat and fat. This determines how they should be cooked to achieve the desired result based on your preference.
