A herd of Hereford cattle was reintroduced to Brockhampton Estate in 2002. During the summer months you can see the herd grazing the fields around Lower Brockhampton. The cattle have been reared to the highest animal welfare standards by James Hawkins who is the tenant at Warren farm and manages the Hereford Herd for the National Trust. They are grass reared and fully traceable to Warren Farm.
When an animal is fit it is taken to the abattoir and then the meat is hung for three to four weeks to allow the true flavours to mature. The meat is then cut and boxed up into 10kg (22 lbs) of beautiful Hereford Beef which is then ready for collection and is ideal for the freezer. It is offers a selection of cuts and joints to suit all tastes.
The cost of the beef box is £100 if collected from the farm or an extra £12 if we post it to you. Either write, phone or email an order through to James or Victoria Hawkins. This really is a taste of Herefordshire and how it used to be!
