The cattle on Eastwell’s land are fed a strict diet – grass, grass, and more grass. We believe this creates the finest quality grass-fed Nguni beef.
With the rise of demand for grass-fed beef, many producers will raise the animal on grass then finish on grain with the intention of producing fattier meat. We do not. Our animals only ever taste the goodness of the earth directly from the soil. This leans heavily into several fundamental laws we follow on the farm, such as rotational grazing and carbon sequestration. Our grass-fed Nguni cattle provide mother nature with natural fertiliser, soil aeration and a regular mow (but not too regular, re. rotational grazing – more to come on this in future articles).

Exhibit A. is Markulu, the oldest of our Nguni bulls. While it could be pinned down to genetic luck, we like to partially attribute his potency to the lush lifestyle he now lives on our “greener pastures”. Noosa hinterland grass is nutrient-rich and plentiful. He and the rest of the mob are in heaven.
