Banbury Grasslands

Banbury Grasslands feeds its cattle 100% forage: grass and legumes from pasture during the growing season, and stored forage during winter months. The animals are never fed grain, corn silage, or starch-based energy sources, and no animal by-products appear in the feed. The farm uses no antibiotics, hormones, growth implants, or steroids; any animal that receives an antibiotic injection is removed from the grass-fed program. Cattle are never confined to a feedlot and have access to pasture throughout their lives. The farm practices mob grazing, which it describes as encouraging soil-building grass growth, preventing erosion, and increasing organic matter in the soil. The genetic selection of the herd is used to achieve tenderness and flavour naturally, without grain finishing.
