We (not me!!) are in the thick of calving now and loads of new life coming into the farm! It is an extremely busy time of year but as I sit here from my chair recovering, I look out at the sun shining and the grass greening up, it feels just round the corner that hopefully we will get the cows back out again!

It’s National Butchers Week and although we don’t do our own butchery on site, Highland Butchery are just a 2 minute drive from us.
We provide the freshest of beef cuts from cattle born and reared right here at Drumsleed keeping the food miles to an absolute minimum.
Check out Highland Butchery on Facebook and give Kirsty a follow and see what she is all about.🥩 National Butchers Week – Celebrating Highland Butchery 🥩
It’s National Butchers Week and we’re proud to celebrate the skill, passion and dedication behind everything we do here at Highland Butchery.
Did you know?
🔪 Butchery is a centuries-old craft that takes years to truly master.
🥩 A skilled butcher understands every cut – not just how to prepare it, but how best to cook it.
🌍 Local butchers play a huge role in supporting British farming and reducing food miles.
⭐ Shopping local means fresher produce, expert advice, and personalised service you won’t get in supermarkets.
At Highland Butchery, we’re proud to:
✔ Provide high-quality, carefully prepared cuts
✔ Offer friendly advice on cooking and preparation
✔ Support local suppliers and our community
This week, why not try something new, ask us about a different cut, or share your favourite Highland Butchery meal in the comments?
Thank you for supporting local and keeping traditional skills alive ❤️

Another selection of of some of the finest steaks from another one of our own Simmentals cross heifers.
Traceability is a huge part of what we believe in and how healthy the animal is. We can tell you what shed it was born and what field it was reared in. We can tell you what feed it was eating and what vaccines she would have had.
We also make sure that the animal isn’t wild. Anything that is wild can tense up so the muscles contract making the beef really tough and chewy.
All these little things contribute to the making the finest beef cuts possible.

This is a great post from Ardross Farm and I would definitely suggest reading all the captions on the photos too.
Knowing where and how your food has been brought to your plate is what we are passionate about and believe it is extremely important that we all know what we are putting into our bodies.
We have to stick to some extremely strict rules with our crops and cattle to prevent risk to the consumer health however, does the food that is imported follow the same checks??

I love how optimistic my watch can be!! I wish I shared it!!!
Thank you to everyone who has been in touch, I feel extremely loved.
Also thank you everyone who has continued to head out and support our wee business.
Although I don’t see cars coming in about (which always gives me a smile) I still see some of the payments coming through which gives me excitement.
If anyone feels interested in sending me pictures of their meals using our produce it would be greatly appreciated. Quite often it inspires others to give things a try.
Thanks
Doug 😊
