If you have been lucky enough to order beef this week here it is! Look at that magnificant rump and the confirmation

Lamb Grain vs Grass

Ive been reading and researching about the differences in Grain vs Grass fed ruminents. today I and my brother Scott would put this to a taste test myself. Both were vacuum packed loin chops. Upon opening both packs, the grain feed lamb exhibited a strong sour smell where as the grass fed lamb was somewhat neutral. Both the grass and the grain meat showed equal levels of good marbling and fat covering. The chops were seasoned and then grilled on the stove top. All chops were cooked to meduim-medium/rare.
I put Scott under a blind test and he picked the grain meat being that with the stronger taste with the sour undertones. The grass fed chop was clearly the more tastier and I found myself wanting to continue sucking on the bone from the grass fed but I had not the same urge with the grain feed chop. I had a friend recently tell me that they usually experience a metalicy livery taste from vacuum packed meat. My theory is that it isnt the vacuum packing more than its probably grain fed meat.
Id be interested in anyone elses feedback.
Cheers

Mushrooms

Mushrooms are out again however we were a bit late getting to them as they are drying out on top

Taking delivery of lucern

Today we took delivery of 22 tonne of lucern hay to finish off our cattle and a select number of lambs.

Rebuildig the pig hut

Huffing and puffing yeah, but eating your house down i dont remember that in the story. I dismantled the hut with the bobcat wrapped the bails in chicken wire to stop them from eating their house and reassembled the hut, all the while doreen refused to move.

Truck bogged

It was meant to be dry today but murphys law kicked in as we were trying to load oats from the grain bag in the field into a truck. Shrek came along and saved the day

Greenvale Meats and the Grape Escape

The Grape Escape held in Halls Gap with the scenic backdrop of the Grampians mountain ranges was a two day event held on the 2nd and 3rd of May which showcases the regions local wine and produce. Over the past two or so months since we lauched Greenvale Meats we exceeded projections selling over 2.5 tonne of beef and this week we have just started to also offer lamb in the same way, that being boxing up the whole beast into portions so everyone recieves the same cuts.

Fast Ed is a TV Celebrety chef who stars on Better Homes and Gardens. Ed was providing the cooking demonstration and showcased our lamb in several dishes on the Sunday. Orgasmic noises came from Ed as he shoved piece after piece in his mouth. Not being backward in coming forward Amanda took this opportunity to get up uninvited to the stage and talk about our lamb to the welcome of Ed.

"...fantastic..." and ".. some of the best lamb I've tasted..." were two endorsments from Ed.
