Have you heard about "human interference"? This is the idea that the more humans change or interfere with a product, the more unnatural and unhealthy it becomes.
We believe we have found a product that is healthy and requires no "human interference". It is perfect - exactly as nature intended when the animal evolved.
Our cattle are raised on green pasture and nothing else. We don't feed them grain or restrict them to feedlots. They wander the paddocks, swim in the dams and socialize in a herd environment. We believe our cattle are happy relaxed animals. Therefore the meat is put under less stress and is more tender, juicy and flavoursome as a result. Sassafras Beltie Beef is different!
The Belted Galloway's unusual thick hide and double coat mean that the animals don't have to insulate themselves in a layer of fat. Instead of depositing fat around the outside of the carcass, Belties infuse it into their muscles. This is a process known as marbling, and is highly sought after in the restaurant trade.
The Belted Galloway is low in saturated fat and total average fat. Fat infused through the meat is different from external fat because it cooks out. This means that as you cook the meat, the fat melts and gives the meat flavour and tenderness. The fat then drains away, leaving a lean healthy cut of meat that you can enjoy without the concerns associated with other red meat.
The University of Guelph in Canada performed a study on Belted Galloway meat and found it high in Omega 3 and 6 fatty acid ratios. In fact, Beltie meat is as high as poultry and salmon. So Beltie is one of the healthiest meats available for your heart and brain.
