Beef suet refers specifically to the fat that surrounds the animal’s kidneys. It has a high melting point, making it great for pastry and deep frying. It can also be rendered into tallow, which can be used for cooking, or to make candles, soaps, salves, and leather conditioners. Suet is a key ingredient in traditional British steamed puddings and meat pies.
Our beef is 100% grass fed and finished. Our cattle herd is made up of a variety of heritage cattle breeds, including Hereford, Black Angus, Devon, and Dexter. From May to November, we intensively manage our herd in a rotational grazing system across our pastures. This allows the animals to have access to the best quality grasses, while fertilizing our fields with manure and providing an adequate rest period for plant regrowth. During the winter months, the herd is brought into the barn where they are fed hay and have access to the outdoor barnyard at all times.
