honestbeef Principles
- No hormones or growth accelerants.
- Low stress animal management.
- Reducing stress for animals encourages stronger immune systems, faster growth and overall general good health.
- Low density herds reduces food competition and minimises the ecological footprint.
- The herd responds to voice calls for mustering which is only possible by caring interaction with the animals.
- Horseback is also used for mustering and drafting
- Sustainable farming practices
- Paddock rotation and resting
- Noxious weed removal programs
- Water conservation strategies
- Erosion control and repair
- Selected breeding for optimal management
- Selecting the appropriate breeds for the climate and environment reduces the need for inputs both to the land and the animal.
- Open grazing on improved pastures.
- As we all know, regular exercise is vital for both a healthy body and mind and cattle are no different.
- Producing cattle that are physically healthy and emotionally stable obviously leads to better beef.
- Limited Grain Consumption
- Grain is usually given to cattle as a weight gain mechanism. Excessive feeding of grain to cattle can cause them several health problems.
- honestbeef feeds the animals grain at the top of its growth cycle. This ensures natural full body development and great tasting beef as a consequence.
- Regular health checks for all animals.
- Using a mixture of traditional and modern treatments, our goal is to ensure consumer safety.
- Full treatment records for each animal are maintained and can be viewed on request.
