Only
pure bred Dexter cattle are kept on our holding, we do not cross them
with any other breed. As a native breed, our Dexters thrive on our
unimproved grassland but are happy to spend some time comfortably indoors
munching through the summer hay during the long wet winters, so typical
in this region of Wales.
Much
as we love our cattle, we are not vegetarians and prefer to eat meat from
animals that
we have raised ourselves rather than mass produced supermarket meat
of dubious origin and poor quality. In life, we treat our animals with the respect that they deserve
and know, that when the time comes for them to leave us, they will continue to give
pleasure to others many months after
they have gone.
We send
some of our
finished stock to Crossgar Meats http://www.crossgar.ie/index.php
-
an
Irish foodservice company who specialise in supplying the type of restaurants whose clients
appreciate the finer things in life and where the superb eating qualities
of the Dexter are recognised and valued.
For
those willing to purchase direct from us, we can hold a steer back to meet
demand - it is as simple as that. Since we have our own butchery, our
animals travel just six miles to the local abattoir at Tregaron then
returned to mature in our cold store.
As you would expect, all our meat is professionally cut and packed to our
exacting standards here on the smallholding.
If
you would like to pre-order some meat, check availability or simply
want some further information then please send us an e-mail alvecoteherd@btinternet.com
or telephone on 01974 821522. Orders can be collected direct from the smallholding or sent to you in the
post (subject to P&P). If you wish to stock up your freezer, we
sometimes have meat ready frozen for your convenience (for collection
only) see stock
list for what is currently available. Since we do not operate
a farm shop per se, it is best to phone first before setting out.
COMING VERY SOON!
We
are now also taking advanced orders for our neighbour's certified organic lamb -
whole (£120) or halves (£60).
