EatTelfit’s grass fed beef cattle are grown on both diverse, rough hillsides and natural pastures in the Yorkshire Dales using regenerative farming methods. Almost all of our beef cattle are over 30 months old compared to 16 months for commercial grain fed cattle, allowing real flavour to develop. We encourage you to look out for the darker meat and yellow of the fat that indicates a long, good life on pasture.
Our beef cattle live on a diet of natural grasses, forage and their mother’s milk. This allows the cattle to live longer and protects them from mastitis. We also utilise rotational grazing where the cattle are moved frequently between pastures to promote plant growth and prevent overgrazing of favoured plants. This results in greater cover being built up over the soil from long rest periods of sometimes 120 days before grazing again. This helps to improve soil health, as healthy plants feed the microbes.
eatTelfit believes in proper UK native breed cattle in a way that is sensitive to the environment they are farmed in. This allows us to produce the finest sustainable and grass fed beef with remarkable flavour, marbling and texture. Natural beef, grass fed in this manner, is higher in critical healthy fatty acids like omega 3.
Some of our most popular grass fed beef cuts include our rich, grass-fed beef mince - ideal for making succulent homemade burgers, tender grass-fed steaks and our slow cooker meats - perfect for winter warming recipes.
As we believe in zero-waste, all our beef is dry aged for a minimum of 28 days before being expertly butchered nose-to-tail by our ethical artisan butchers.
