Tasmanian Barley Fed Beef

BARLEY-FED

BARLEY-FED

Barley feeding brings superior marbling and tenderness, delivering a rich, juicy meat all year round. All of this achieved without the use of intensive feedlots.

FREE RANGE

FREE RANGE

Wanderer's cattle roam free in paddocks and also have access to barley through an innovative, mobile feeding system. This approach provides a relaxed environment with the highest animal welfare standards in mind.

FARMING

FARMING

The Wanderer Barley Beef program allows farmers to consistently supply high quality beef. Even in times when pasture may be affected by drought or seasonal changes, thanks to the combination approach of both barley and grass feeding.

Natural State Hanging Method

Natural State Hanging Method

Wanderer Beef uses the ‘Natural State’ hanging method where carcases are hung from the hip bone rather than the traditional Achilles heel method during chilling. This method is referred to as tenderstretching and improves meat tenderness by positioning the body in its natural state to promote muscle elongation and superior tenderness.
