Where can you get Butcher Quality Beef available on a Sunday? Right here from our family farm is where. Our shop is open 7 days a week from 7am to 9pm at Drumsleed, Fordoun, AB30 1SL#Aberdeenshire #freshbeef #SupportLocal #drumsleedmeats ... See MoreSee Less

♥️ Whether it’s Valentine’s, Galentine’s, Palentine’s or whatever other names there are these days, celebrate with steak. ♥️

We have a great selection of fresh sirloins, ribeyes and fillets in the fridge for you to choose from, thanks to @highland_butchery.
We even have a couple which are packaged as singles, so if it’s a meal for one you’re looking for tonight, we have also got you covered!

If you’re looking for a last minute (although I like to think of it as spontaneous) gift for the meat lover in your life, how about one of our gift vouchers? Just drop me a message!

For anyone that is new here, thank you for following Drumsleed Meats. We are farmers that mainly sell breeding cattle and started selling beef directly from the farm via our wee shop in 2020.

Simmentals are our breed of choice for producing our beef. We use these for a number of reasons. The mothers provide loads of quality milk so we don’t need to force feed calves at a young age. They are usually very quiet which means they aren’t all stressed and tense at slaughter. They can be finished really easily with a lovely covering of fat and excellent marbling. They are also not too muscly so you get some of the best steaks without having to sharpen your knife to eat them.

Hopefully none of these bulls will go for eating but will go on and breed loads more quality cattle for someone else. Some of the following details might look like a foreign language but thank you for reading this far.

So……

Here are our bulls for the second round of Stirling Bull Sales February 2026.

This time it is our Simmentals that will be forward for sale on the 16th Feb at United Auctions Stirling.

THE BEST bacon roll!

We’re always looking for ways to improve and keep our customers happy 😇
Although I could eat beef 7 nights a week, appreciate (although maybe don’t understand 😂) that it’s not for everyone.

I’ve tried to do some polls on our stories… 🙄 but they look better on Instagram 🙈 so I’d be really grateful if you could head over there and give me an idea of what you’d like to see in the shop.

Thanks in advance 🙂
