Producer Farms
We believe that supply chains are only as strong as their weakest link. The red meat supply chain is a complex process where quality can be enhanced or lost at every stage. To ensure consistency of both quality and supply, the Celtic Pride Premium Beef Scheme was born.
As a supplier to Celtic Pride, producers agree to make the farm premises, land, livestock and movement records available for inspection.
Livestock is finished to agreed husbandry, breed, feed and classification protocol and delivered to our partner abattoirs.
Our fieldsman, Gareth Evans, is tasked with ensuring that all animals entering the scheme meet all standards.
