In the UK, cattle graze on lush, nutrient-rich grass, making the most of the country’s natural pastures. Grass makes up 91% of their diet, with fresh grass making up 74% and conserved grass, like hay, straw, and silage, making up 17%. Farmers carefully manage grazing to keep their cattle healthy and produce great-quality beef. It’s a system that works with nature to make the most of Britain’s green landscape.

Grass-fed British beef and lamb have a lower environmental impact compared to intensive grain-fed systems. Cattle and sheep grazing on grass-fed diets help preserve natural landscapes, store carbon, and reduce reliance on imported feed like soy and corn.
