Our Lamb & Beef

Over the past twenty years, Joy and Nick Waldron at Beechcroft have built up,
from scratch, a small herd of suckler cows and a sizable flock of sheep. The farm
now offers fresh, locally produced, traditional lamb and beef.

Beechcroft Beef

Our herd of Simmental (the big orange and white ones!) are crossed with Aberdeen Angus (the black ones!). Our cattle are raised on an extensive farming system, some we keep for breeding, others are sold to neighbouring farmers for breeding and the rest for meat.

Beechcroft Lamb

We have two flocks of sheep. The main flock is made up of a mixture of breeds which include Texel (the big, white faced ones!), Rouge (the finely boned pink faced ones!) and the recent introduction of Welsh mules (the pretty black and white speckled faced ones!) The second flock is of Dorset bred, which lamb in October, this allows us to offer New Season lamb all year round.

Between the months of April and December we weigh and grade the lambs weekly, ensuring the meat produced from the lamb is in its prime.

Please see our Order page to view the variety of cuts we offer. Orders are by collection from Beechcroft, just outside Winchester in Hampshire. Delivery can be arranged, subject to a charge.

We have impeccable welfare standards and full traceability. Beechcroft are members of the Farm Assured British Lamb and Beef Scheme. The EFSIS-FABBL Farm Assurance Scheme was originally set up in 1992 to give retailers and consumers confidence in British livestock production standards.
