Pedigree Meats of Herefordshire - The finest quality meats available from Huntsham Court Farm in the heart of Herefordshire

Huntsham Farm - Pedigree Meats is owned and run by Richard Vaughan and his wife, Rosamund. It specialises in producing the finest meat from rare pedigree animals – Longhorn beef, Middle White pork and Ryeland lamb – rather than just beef, pork and lamb. Huntsham Farm is situated in the beautiful Wye valley and has been in the Vaughan family for nearly four hundred years.

Meat production in the British Isles has for many years been driven by economic considerations – the requirement to produce animals which grow faster but eat less food, and by an overriding obsession with leanness in meat. The result has been meat which may look good on the sales counter but which is often tough and tasteless. Modern beef is usually bright red, has not been hung for any length of time and has been sourced from any breed of cattle which fits the requirement for cheap, lean meat.

Huntsham meat has been produced with superior taste and texture as the primary consideration. It therefore has a higher fat content than most modern meat, which greatly enhances its taste and succulence. Some people like to eat the fat, others don’t, but it is important that the meat is cooked with its fat. Those who don’t like fat should look on it like the sediment in a good bottle of wine – you don’t drink it but it needs to be there.
