BREED

The Simmental has historically been used for dairy and beef, and as draught animals. They are well-muscled animals, being long and deep-bodied with strong bone. They have good temperament and high milk production. Simmental carcasses are significantly heavier and leaner than other European breeds, with little waste, and they give a higher yield meat.

PROVENANCE

The Simmental we source are reared in Belgium and Switzerland. The cattle are hand selected at abattoir by Discarlux our European partner for all Retired Dairy breeds. They are selected based on grading of fat content and marbling. Discarlux age our retired dairy carcasses in Spain before we import them to the U.K. for further aging or processing.
