Dovecote Park

Our Cattle

All our cattle are sourced directly from our approved producers to ensure we know exactly where they come from and how they are reared.
All our producers must be farm assured and audited to Waitrose Beef Protocol.
All our farms are inspected by us before cattle are procured for any schemes.
All cattle are transported directly from farm to Dovecote Park by hauliers that are assured under the Assured British Meat standards.
All cattle are aged under 30 months (40 months for Highland) to ensure tenderness and taste.

A close relationship

All cattle must remain on the last producers holding for a minimum of 90 days before coming to Dovecote Park.
Producers must adhere to a strict beef scheme protocol, with strong emphasis on upholding welfare standards to ensure maximum quality is delivered.
Cattle must be reared on a high forage based diet, and have access to forage at all times.
For welfare reasons, finishing cattle are not housed on slatted flooring.
