Old-Fashioned Flavor • Naturally Raised • Packed With Nutrition
At Norris Farmstead, we raise both pure Scottish Highland cattle and Highland/Black Angus cross cattle.
Both offer incredible flavor and tenderness — with slightly different advantages:
- Pure Highland Beef has exceptional nutrient density, a rich old-fashioned flavor, and natural leanness with beautiful marbling that comes from slow growth and natural forage.
- Highland/Angus Cross Beef combines the superior flavor and health benefits of Highland with the well-known tenderness and slightly larger frame of Angus, giving you a bit more yield while maintaining that deep heritage flavor.
No matter which you receive in your bulk share, you’re getting beef raised the way nature intended — slow-grown, grass-fed, and never rushed.
Naturally Raised for Superior Flavor
Highland cattle and Highland/Angus crosses thrive on a natural, varied, forage-based diet. Because they roam freely on grass and clover, their beef develops:
✔ deeper flavor
✔ firmer, more satisfying texture
✔ healthier fat profile
✔ exceptional tenderness
Their natural grazing habits even improve pasture biodiversity and soil health, making this a regenerative choice for you and the land.
Grass-fed and forage-fed beef naturally delivers the best flavor and highest nutritional value compared to grain-fed cattle.
