Natural in cattle, natural in land:
Dry stone walling in Australia emerged in the mid 1800's in areas where a proliferation of stone in the geological landscape necessitated a clearing of the land. Although built as the most economic form of fencing, specific historical associations can also be made with particular landowners as so often the style of wall also reflects the status of its builder. Our stone walls are a feature of the Catsle Estate farm and apart of a special region of Victoria as they are volcanic rock.

I’m having Chicken tonight!:
Just like our cows, we believe all animals should live pasture raised in the most natural environment possible. Castle Estate Chickens are raised free range on our farm.
Let's talk about the meaning of Free range.
"Free-range" is a term that refers to a method of animal husbandry where animals are able to roam freely outdoors rather than being confined by an enclosure for 24 hours a day. that can be interpreted in many different ways. Larger producers, unfortunately, have been known to follow only the letter of the law, not its spirit, and put open windows or small doors that lead to paved patches of the ground at the ends of large, crowded hen houses that are from anyone's idyllic notion of farm life or the best possible life for a chicken. These chickens can then legally be labeled "free-range" even though their habitat is far from what anyone would consider all that free.
Smaller farm like us give their chickens real freedom during the day to explore far and wide. Just like if you have your own chicks in your backyard.

The Days of Lot Feeding are over:
The age-old debate of lot-feeding animals vs grass-feeding is still very much alive among farmers. But did you know that the difference in the diet of cattle who is lot-fed is almost unrecognisable compared to that of cattle who are grass-fed? If a cow is lot-fed their diets become almost “artificial” as it is denied the proper nutrients that it can gain from fresh, green grass. While animals in feedlots are fed in this manner in order to reach the market weight requirements, the cow’s digestive system isn’t designed to continually consume corn or grain products, causing them to get sick often. As a result, they’re given a constant dose of antibiotics.
We believe animals must be free to roam and graze as nature intended- grass only, not grain-fed in lots. Grass-fed beef is also better than grain-fed beef as it has significantly lower levels of saturated fat and is higher in nutrients and antioxidants.

Ethical Farming Practises:
We have our very own on site abattoir on our property in 2014, to help ensure we have complete control of the supply chain from paddock to plate. Where we uphold the most humane practices to support the animals through transition and guarantee the best tasting meat is delivered. Each and every animal can be traced from farm to plate, giving the customer a piece of mind.Here at Castle Estate we specialise in cattle farming but understand that there is more to meat than just Beef. So we work with other local farms who specialise in lamb, chicken and pork who uphold the same humane farming, no intervention and pasture fed practices, we offer production services to other farmers and we process the widest range of species of any abattoir in Australia.
