The Porteus family’s three farms are located in North West Tasmania. This area of Tasmania is renowned as one of the most productive grazing regions in Australia, with rich healthy soils and the cleanest air in the world. Each of the farms is situated in its own unique environment type – rainforest, coastal and river flats. What each farm has in common is they have been developed to produce the highest quality beef and have being doing so for decades.

To achieve this level of quality the cattle are grass fed, free of growth hormones and antibiotics and reared to the highest standards. The cattle that go into our premium beef burgers are raised under strictly humane conditions and are never confined so they can live naturally and graze freely on lush Tasmanian pasture. To assist our cattle to put on weight during winter we allocate a generous amount of acreage per animal and ensure they have excellent and plentiful hay.

In addition to having the right environment we also choose the finest cattle from breeds that produce intensely flavoured and superbly marbled beef. To achieve the best results, cattle need to be kept as calm as possible throughout the rearing process. We take many steps to keep our cattle calm including cutting square bails that do not require heavy machinery to produce. This reduces the impact on our cattle and our paddocks. Our animals are butchered in a manner that ensures quality and results in tender, delicious beef.

Today Porteus Beef remains a successful family run business that is involved in the local community and committed to caring for the land and their livestock.
