BINALONG GULLY BEEF
Grass fed with a view.
Grass fed and finished, quality Angus beef
Binalong Gully produces an individual flavour in its beef that is becoming well sought after in the restaurant trade.
Grown in Victorias’ world-renowned Heytesbury district and just a stones throw from the wonderful 12 Apostles, are some of the tastiest Angus beef cattle.
With a view overlooking rolling hills and the Southern Ocean, sustained annual rainfall, consistent grass variety and quality, our cattle live a calm, peaceful and happy existence.
Set on 150 acres the farm encompasses 10 primary paddocks, 6 dams and a riparian zone for native trees and animals.
The salt sea air, coupled with Victoria’s temperate climate, provides the perfect conditions for our animals to thrive.
The Cows and Bulls
Each mob is limited to 30 animals and the farm is stocked to match the prevailing weather and grass conditions.
Each mob is regularly reviewed in our well-appointed stockyards, weighed, vaccinated, drenched and handled to keep the animals in top condition.
Our pure bred Angus bulls, with proven genealogy, are sourced from the local area.
Binalong Gully is LPA accredited.
Touch the ground lightly
Primary production from relatively natural environments and limited change to the native vegetation.
Limited introduction of foreign materials, our animals are grown naturally on balanced grass pastures with quality clover, rye and fescue grasses.
Hay is produced on the farm each year meaning there is no importation of foreign grasses or weeds.
The mobs are rotated between paddocks every two weeks to maximise their grass intake and minimise their impact on the ground.
The product
The red meat market consumer has become increasingly sophisticated in recent years and now demands a consistent fat content.
Premium prices are paid for carcasses that have the acceptable fat depth.
Very lean carcasses have a fat depths of 0, 1 and 2 millimetres and carcasses with more than 12 or 15 millimetres are considered too fat.
Binalong Gully produces quality beef with average fat scores of 7 (measured at P8).
The Binalong Gully carcass yields have been consistent over the years to see a hot weight yield of 56%.
Hot standard carcass weights between 180 and 220 kilograms ideally requires a fat cover of from five to nine millimetres at the P8 rump site.
Carcasses of this weight with less fat may be bare on primal cut areas and the same carcass with 12 to 15 millimetres will require trimming, which is expensive in terms of time and lost weight.
