Bass Strait is the ferocious stretch of ocean that separates mainland Australia from Tasmania. It is this wild stretch of sea that lends the term “Roaring Forties”.

And within these Roaring Forties are some of the most famous and legendary lamb producing regions in the world.

The cleanest air in the world blows over the pastures here. The lush grass grows year round.

They nourish British and European breed lambs, renowned for the delicate and special flavour of their meat.

This is Lamb Like No Other.

Cape Grim is quintessential Tasmania. Located on the far northwestern tip of the island, it serves as the figurative mast-head for the incredible beef packed under the brand that bears its special name.

A network of dedicated farmers from Tasmania, King and Flinders Island supply British bred cattle grown on some of the best pastures in the world.

This is the pinnacle of grass fed beef, the world over. Cape Grim Beef is graded to a minimum marble score of 2+, and raised in a pristine environment that features the cleanest air in the world.

Fourth generation cattle farmers John, Keith, Alex and Chauncey Hammond have been breeding wagyu on Robbins Island since the early 1990’s.

During the iconic seasonal musters, bands of horsemen swim the cattle through saltwater channels at low tide to move them peacefully between grazing areas.

Situated on the north western tip of Tasmania, the island has a temperate climate, clean air and a pristine coastal environment.

It is without doubt one of the truly iconic farming stories – and we are so fortunate to have it right on our front doorstep.

A natural star in wagyu.

Showcasing the silky, buttery notes of wagyu with the clean finish of grass, this unique brand represents the pinnacle of grass fed beef, anywhere in the world.

F1 Wagyu cattle are finished on 100% grass in southern Victoria and Tasmania. These cattle never see a feedlot, nor an ounce of grain.

This program challenges the traditional model of raising wagyu – and showing the industry that a grass finished wagyu product can be every bit as astoundingly good as the current grain fed model.

The Westholme Wagyu herd contains the most highly credentialed Wagyu cattle to leave Japan. Over two decades, they have built on these foundation bloodlines to produce an outstanding, high standard of Westholme beef.

Westholme cattle are born wild on AACo’s pristine outback stations, raised on grass and finished on a specialised grain blend, to achieve rich marbling throughout. Great care and attention to detail underpins Westholme beef production.

The next evolution in animal welfare. A unique barley-based feed regime. Wide open paddocks. Access to grain or grass, any time. Very special beef farmed a very special way.

The Barley Feed:

By using only premium barley grain, a richer, more buttery mouthfeel and flavour is achieved, and is kept consistent all throughout the year

The Feeding System:

Cattle are fed on grass before being finished using innovative, mobile feeders, meaning they are able to stay on their home farm, and have access to both grain and grass at all times. No feedlots here.

The Result:

Minimum MB2-3+ and MB4+ available. Loin cuts grading at a minimum of MSA4 for guaranteed quality.

Bass Strait and its coastlines fall at the latitude where drenching rain, warming sun and saltwater winds combine to create climatic perfection for growing tender grass-fed beef.

The cattle are peacefully raised on natural rye grasses and clover without the need of antibiotics or hormone growth promotants.

The taste – As clean as the winds of Bass Strait.

Flinders Select is our house brand.

We search the country for producers who can offer a sharper price point, but still retain much of the same ethos and values that we believe in.

Producers like Dick and Mavis Hazeldene from Bendigo for our chicken, local processor AMG in Melbourne for our grass fed beef, and TQM in Launceston for our Tasmanian Lamb.

We retain the flexibility to buy from different producers as the seasons change – ensuring you get a consistent product, at a sharp price.

Inspired by the famous “Galician” beef producers of Northern Spain, Vintage Beef Co. shines a light on the outdated notion that older animals produce poor quality meat.

Graded using MSA standards, the flavour from these 60 month plus animals is truly exceptional. Available in Reserva, Galiciana 3+, and Robbins 4+ grades.
