Heritage Beef started from the realization that the never-medicated beef we produced was quite different to that generally available and that it was sought after by health-conscious consumers who appreciated it for its uncompromised purity.
The establishment of the business is based on a vision of a truly family business, harnessing the talents of all four of us.
It is an off-shoot of Kevin & Lisa’s Compassberg Nguni cattle breeding business to which they have dedicated themselves for the past 20-odd years on their farms in the Sneeuberg range, near Nieu Bethesda in the Great Karoo.

Purpose
Financially it is aimed at supporting Peter & Hannah’s tertiary education while providing an opportunity to gain business and other skills empowering us into the future.
As a part of our understanding of sustainability we are committed to support the work of the Mountain Zebra Camdeboo Protected Environment (MZCPE) www.mzcpe.co.za

Socially, we aim to build lasting relationships with our customers based on old-world integrity.

Our Family’s Promise is that our Heritage Beef is:

Never medicated (nor vaccinated) – their genetic make-up together with our focused selection and unique climate have enabled us to achieve this

Life-time grazed – born and lived on Karoo veld, under our careful, regenerative management.

Never fed grain – ruminants don’t naturally require grain

Slow grown – >1000 days grazed

Completely traceable – only ever lived on our farm, situated in the MZCPE, a legislated protected environment surrounding two National Parks

Respectfully treated – by experienced stockmen

Sustainably produced – as our happy cows calve year after year

Nguni genetics – proudly indigenous and perfectly adapted to our environment

Slaughtered at a registered abattoir

Aged for at least seven days post slaughter

Includes ALL the prime cuts

Nutrient dense

We are extremely grateful for the overwhelming and loyal support of so many customers and establishments.
