Belted Galloway Suckler Herd


We run a small Belted Galloway suckler herd
which is grass fed and outdoor reared, producing pure bred cattle.



Belted Galloways are a hardy breed which originate from the exposed uplands of Galloway in south west Scotland. They are well suited to rough grazing, whilst producing nutritionally rich milk for their calves and later converting into lean meat. Galloways have a double coat to protect them from the elements, a long haired outer coat which sheds the rain and snow and a soft undercoat providing warmth.

Our Galloways are black with the characteristic white belt, which completely encircles the body. In other parts of the UK you might see dun or red Belted Galloways.

We bought 21 pedigree Belted Galloways in spring 2008 (as seen in the above photograph) to increase the herd number.

We produce high quality Belted Galloway beef whilst taking a whole farm, sustainable approach to healthy food production, maintaining the historical landscape and conserving wildlife habitats.

The next available date for our Belted Galloway beef is November 28th 2008.  Please contact us to place your order

Our 'Beltie' meat will be hung for 3-4 weeks allowing it to reach it's full potential and ensure that it is full of delicious flavour.

A local butcher will cut the meat and it will be packed in clearly labelled bags and placed in a box, ready for your immediate consumption or for storage in the freezer. 

A box will contain 10kg of meat.  As a guide, 10kg of beef should fit in one drawer of an upright freezer. Customers cannot ask for specific cuts to be in the box.

The exact proportions of cuts will vary between boxes

A typical box may contain:

4kg of joints

1kg steak (rump/sirloin)

2kg stewing steak (in 1kg bags)

3kg mince (in 1kg bags)

Fillet is sold separatey and is being reserved rapidly - perfect for a succulent supper, so email now to reserve your fillet !

Additional 'Belty' beefburgers and extra cuts may be available on collection day.

So why not try some local, fresh, farm assured beef and help to keep Surrey Farming. 

Use the contact page to check availability by email.

Approximately 15 boxes should be available, however this number cannot be confirmed until the day of boxing.  For example, if you are 16th on the list and a box is not available on this occasion, you move to the top of the list for the next available date.

We only sell beef from our own herd therefore it is not constantly available and pre-ordering is advisable. If you would like to be notified when the next beef is available, please send us your contact details and we'll include you on our list
