The regular farm audits conducted by Dovecote Park on all of our farms ensure that all cattle have been housed in comfortable, spacious conditions, with access to fresh water and forage, and that the correct medical care has been provided.
All cattle which arrive at Dovecote Park must be transported by a haulier who has been audited and approved to ABM standards. Strict limits are placed on the length of time our cattle can spend in transit.
Significant investment has been made to ensure our lairages are a comfortable environment for the cattle. Each animal is checked by an FSA certified vet to ensure that they are in good health prior to processing. Our handling facilities have been designed by industry experts with the express purpose of maximising animal welfare. Our lairages are well lit and ventilated, with fresh water and hay provided.
