Native Grazers is a small grass fed beef enterprise nestled in the Glenken hills, in the heart of Dumfries and Galloway. We have the vision to bring ‘real’ food back to its local community and support a regenerative way of farming that benefits the land and all animals that live in it. Here you can read more on the farm and where your beef is coming from.
We butcher once per month and all of the meat we sell online is frozen.
However, if you would like to pre-order fresh meat instead of frozen, then please get in contact.
We freeze all our beef when it comes home to ensure quality. Freezing at peak freshness locks in nutrients and flavour and minimises any loss of nutritional value. This ensures that the quality of the meat is at its best when it reaches your plate, as well as eliminating waste.
For proper defrosting methods, please read our additional information.
Beef from grass-fed cattle isn’t just better for the land — it’s better for you, too.
Naturally slow-grown beef is:
Richer in flavour, with a depth that only time and natural grazing can create.
Higher in Omega-3 fatty acids and lower in saturated fat than grain-fed beef.
A good source of vitamins A and E, as well as essential minerals like zinc and iron.
Completely free from grains, soya, and unnecessary additives.
Every cut of NativeGrazers beef tells the story of an animal that lived well, grazed naturally, and contributed to a thriving landscape - a product of patience, care, and connection to place.
The ‘Riggit’ Galloway cattle are a well documented archaic strain of Galloway, easily identifiable by the white stripe, running down their spine. The main body colour can be black, blue/black, red, brown or dun. The white colouration may include a widening of the stripe to cover much of the back, particularly on the hind quarters, white under the keel of the animal, and white flashes amongst the solid colour. The Riggit Galloway is one of Scotland’s oldest native cattle breeds - distinctive, hardy, and deeply rooted in the landscape of Galloway itself.
Once common across the region’s hills and moorlands, today they are rare, with only a small number of herds helping to keep this traditional breed alive.
These cattle are perfectly suited to our climate and our way of farming. They are small, light-footed, and exceptionally hardy, able to live outdoors all year round. Their calm nature and slow-growing frame make them ideal for a natural, grass-based life - thriving on nothing but fresh grass, herbs, and wild forage.
This slow, traditional approach means better animal welfare, healthier soils, and beef that truly reflects the landscape it comes from.
