CLAREMONT HIGHLAND BEEF

quality beef which is lower in fat and chelestrol and higher in protein ,iron

than other beef with excellent flavour and tenderness , but this can only

be achieved by raising , handling and feeding the animals in a natural and

calm manner.

Claremont farm HIGHLAND BEEF is a healthy alternative to commercially

available beef prouducts. Our beef , although not certified organic, is as

naturally raised as we can possibly make it.

Our young bull calves are dehorned and castrated between 2 and 3 months

old and returned to their mothers until weaning at 7 months .

Our cattle range free on clean pasture and are fed high quality hay and grain

through out the year. No additives such as growth hormones, implants and

low-dose antibiotics are used, although they are routinely wormed and

vaccinated. As highlands are naturally very hardy antibiotics are used only in

extreme circumstances.

All our cattle , regardless of age and sex, enjoy free ranging pasture. Our

steers are fed additional grain during the few months prior to slaughter.

They are killed between 24 -30 months of age. The beef is provincially

inspected and hung for 14 days . We are in constant touch with our butcher

during the hanging and cutting process to ensure a high quality product.

Our beef is normally sold by carcass in wholes ,halves or quarters - the

price being based on the carcass weight as hung on the rail .
