Our Farming Methods
At Balgowan Beef Company, we believe the best beef begins with healthy soil and animals raised in harmony with nature.
Our farming methods are built on regenerative principles that put the land, the animals, and our customers’ health first.
Principles of Regenerative Farming
Working with Nature
We mimic natural grazing patterns by moving our cattle in herds, allowing each area of pasture to rest and recover before being grazed again. This keeps our grasses nutrient-rich, promotes biodiversity, and supports a thriving ecosystem.
Adapted African Genetics
Our cattle are chosen for their ability to thrive in the African environment. Naturally resilient, they require minimal intervention, meaning less reliance on chemicals and pharmaceuticals, and healthier animals overall.
Soil, Animal & Human Health
We see soil, animals, and people as deeply connected. By nurturing the land and raising cattle on natural veld year-round, we produce beef that is clean, nutritious, and free from hormones and harmful chemicals.
Cattle as Land Stewards
Our cows are central to the regenerative process. Their hooves aerate the soil, their grazing stimulates grass growth, and their manure enriches the land. This timeless cycle of grazers and grass sustains life and delivers beef of the highest quality.
Cows are nature’s recyclers - turning grass into nutrient-dense food. For us, there is no greater privilege than managing this process and sharing the result: beef that’s better for you, better for the animals, and better for the earth.
