 The Glaven herd is a family run business with high health and quality at the core. We are growing rapidly but remain committed to providing the best possible product.

The pedigree Aberdeen Angus herd graze along the banks of river Glaven throughout the summer months. The cows and newborn calves are given free-range of many acres allowing the calves to develop at their own pace.

We focus on high welfare for our animals and we believe this shows in the end product.  The herd undergo regular blood testing and we follow a stringent vaccination program to protect our animals in the best way possible. 

The Aberdeen Angus, sometimes simply Angus, is a Scottish breed of small beef cattle. It derives from cattle native to the counties of Aberdeenshire and Angus in north-eastern Scotland.

The Angus is naturally polled and solid black or red, though the udder may be white. The native colour is black, but more recently red colours have emerged. The UK registers both in the same herd book, but in the United States, they are regarded as two separate breeds – Red Angus and Black Angus. Black Angus is the most common breed of beef cattle in the United States, with 332,421 animals registered in 2017. In 2014, the British Cattle Movement Service named Angus the UK's most popular native beef breed and the second most popular beef breed overall.

Whilst we supply local butchers direct we can also provide boxes for general sales at certain times of the year. For more information please contact info@theglavenherd.co.uk
