Acorn Ridge Beef is Scotch Highland Beef
Here at Acorn Ridge
Highlands, we specialize in raising Scotch Highland cattle. Unlike most other breeds of
cattle, Scotch Highlands do not need to store extra body fat to stay warm (the Highland is
insulated by long, shaggy hair). This fact has led Scotch Highlands to become
world-renowned as a lightly marbled, fine of grain, and distinctively flavourful beef.
Acorn Ridge
Highlands is often referred to as one of the country's most progressive breeders, because
of our commitment to raising our cattle as naturally as possible. Unlike most other
cattle-growers, our Acorn Ridge Highlands are raised on natural feed - free of antibiotic
treatment and steroid implants. The fact that our Scotch Highland cattle are naturally
hardy and disease resistant helps us to achieve this goal.
As their name
suggests, Scotch Highland cattle originated on the islands of Scotland. In the British
Isle, Highland beef is recognized as the finest available and fetches premium prices. It
is interesting to note that, for many centuries, Highland beef has been the beef of
preference for the Royal dining tables, and the Queen of England maintains her own herd at
Balmoral Castle, near Braemar, Scotland.
All of our customers
are ensured of receiving the highest quality Scotch highland beef because all of our beef
is fully aged for optimal flavor and tenderness.

Why Highland Beef - Our father was
recovering from his third open heart surgery, and many members of our family were being
diagnosed as having high cholestorol levels. However, we did not want to sacrifice the
enjoyment of a delicious steak or juicy hamburger from time to time.
It was important to
us to find an alternative to the beef available in most grocery stores and butcher shops.
We analyzed over 150 different breeds of cattle to find the one breed that best suited our
needs. We decided on the Scotch Highland for many reasons. This particular breed sounded
like it would meet our criteria - lower in fat and cholestorol, but without sacrificing
the flavor and tenderness of fine cuts of beef.
We then set out to
purchase some of this beef for our personal use. However, after doing so, we found
availability was very limited. Most "cattle" people were not interested in the
Scotch Highland due to its slower growth rate, thus making it very costly for them to
raise. We felt the best way to try it was to raise a couple of our own. we were very
excited about our results and felt there were others with the same needs as ours. |
