Is this beef OK to eat?

As one of the oldest British Native bred cattle, Herefords produce the finest beef from that most natural and simple of foods - grass.
The meat on your plate is completely traceable back to an animal, whose entire life story and ancestry is known in detail.
That life story is a good one. Animal welfare is of prime importance to our farmers, their animals enjoy the best natural living conditions.
Our farmers also all comply with measures and standards by agencies such as DEFRA and the EU.

Is this beef good to eat?

That's an easy one! Over the many decades that the Hereford Breed has evolved, pedigree records date back to 1846, the main concern has always been QUALITY, not quantity.
Hereford beef is 'marbled', which ensures a succulent and tender cooked meat with a delicious flavour.
Scientists have proved that grass fed beef improves; colour, prolongs shelf-life and increases levels of omega-3, an essential fatty acid.
The animals are slaughtered locally in small-scale operations, reducing food miles and minimising stress. This is important, as stress directly affects meat quality by releasing chemicals which raises the pH within the meat. Higher pH causes the beef to be dry, dark and firm, affecting both tenderness and flavour.
The sides of beef are hung, a traditional process that leads to improved tenderness and gives the meat its rich deep red colour prior to cooking. Finally, they are processed and jointed ready for dispatching.

Then your culinary skills come to bear! You will probably have ordered a mixture of cuts - there are marvellous recipes for joints, fillets, steaks, mince, and so on, from every celebrity chef.

Over the past two hundred years Hereford cattle have been exported to the four corners of the world, due to its reputation as a high class beef animal.
