This week we have Salt Marsh beef from Hayling Island’s Northney Farm. I have previously visited Northney farm on Hayling Island to see some of the cattle first hand.




The cattle are Aberdeen Angus – grazing with the masts of sailing boats in the background and the calls of gulls and seabirds all around. It was a blustery day and as we opened the gate onto the pasture, the cows came to greet us. They graze the meadow for about 10 months of the year, only coming in to protect them from the worst of the cold and wet. All the animals are born either on the coastal plain or within the local area. They are reared on their mothers’ milk and grass for the first six months, and after weaning their diet is predominantly flower and herb-rich grass, contributing greatly to the taste and quality of the meat.
