Thousand Highlands
Our Highland Beef...
Our Scottish Highland cattle are a heritage breed. They have not been designed by nature to grow quick and fat on feed or on herbicided and fertilized pastures. They thrive as foragers in woods and as grazers on wild fields. Their foraging is aided by their multi-functional majestic horns - which are also used as protection from predators and as natural back-scratches.
Their thick, hairy, double coat is a natural insulator. The lean fat of highland cattle is thereby more naturally marbled throughout the animal.
highest protein level of all beef
fewer calories than standard beef
lower in cholesterol than even chicken
more vitamin E
more beta-carotene
more Omega 3s and Omega 6s
more CLAs (conjugated linoleic acids)
naturally marbled – lean but very flavourful
30 % of lean fat is omega 3
cooks faster because lower in fat [and no need to ‘drain the fat’]
easily digested by people who have problems eating other beef
free of antibiotics
free of artificial growth hormones
free of nitrates and other chemicals
free of animal by-products
