A question for all you beef fans out there- what do you look for when you are choosing a beef box purchase?
With demand higher than our current supply can satisfy over the next 12 months, we have a few options - but we would love to hear from you, our wonderful customers! Selling out in less than 5 minutes, and with no more mince and sausages even left in the freezer for after sales, we need to look at ways of increasing supply without compromising on the quality and local service you love.
💬 Let us know in the comments what you would prefer from our beef supply program!
Option A: Continue producing small beef box releases based on the availability of purebred Murray Grey steers from our herd and other hand picked quality herds with the same breeding morals and objectives as us. This will mean less beef available, but the same quality you have shown us that you love! All steers will be purebred Murray Greys, and all finished within our feeding program. We have some steers available to us, however they won’t be finished and ready for processing until approximately September.
Option B: Source high quality steers from other herds like in option A, however accepting non Murray Grey cattle into the program. This will result in more beef available, and more regularly with the aim of monthly beef box availability, but not purebred Murray Grey steers. These cattle will be finished within our feeding program on our farm, exactly the same as our previous steers have been, but may have slight differences to the purebred Murray Greys.
Option C: only release beef boxes using Ferguson Livestock Murray Greys. This option results in limited beef supply (with the next available boxes in 2027!) but maintaining the exceptionally high breeding and feeding standard we stand by.
Let us know in the comments below your choice! We love providing fresh, high quality beef to the Ballarat region while remaining affordable, so we definitely aren’t stopping!
