Slaughter Process

We’re occasionally asked about the slaughter methods used for the meat we sell.

We send our own cattle to AJ Green’s Abattoir, a small, traditional abattoir located approximately 7 miles from our farm. Animals are transported short distances and slaughtered using approved stunning methods, ensuring they are rendered unconscious prior to slaughter.

We do not buy or sell meat produced using non-stun religious slaughter, as these methods do not align with our own approach to animal welfare.

Our focus is on welfare standards, traceability, and responsible farming, rather than religious certification.

All meat we sell is sourced from farms and processors that meet our expectations around:

  • animal welfare
  • low-stress handling
  • legal compliance
  • full traceability
  • slaughtered using approved stunning methods

We respect that customers may have specific religious or cultural dietary requirements.  If you require meat that is certified halal or kosher, we recommend sourcing from a specialist supplier set up to meet those needs.
