This summer we were asked to graze our cows at Bentley Priory, a beautiful park and nature reserve near Stanmore in North London. Grazing native breed cattle there helps to keep the vegetation in balance and support the wildlife that flourishes in the park. We have 23 heifers and steers there, and they are very very happy, with acres of grassland, woods and scrub, and lakes to drink from. It is quite a task to keep a track of them. There are many places to hide! It's been wonderful to see them in this fantastic habitat. The park is well worth a visit.
We are changing the name of Chess Valley Beef to Native Beef.
Native Beef reflects our commitment to producing high quality British beef, in a sustainable way, working with native breed cattle and the grasses, herbs and clovers that our beautiful British countryside grows in abundance. We love our Red Ruby Devon cattle, and we may introduce some other native breeds into our farm over time. We are excited about the next stage of our journey, the benefits we can bring to our environment and soil quality, and continuing to produce the best beef around! Our new email address is chapman@native-beef.co.uk; our phone numbers remain the same 07771 740980 and 07964 301620. |
