Partnership for the best beef quality from Austria

The co-operation with our Cattle suppliers in Upper Austria and Lower Austria has been the foundation of our beef production for decades. Together with dedicated Cattle breeders and Farmers we ensure the highest standards in Animal welfare, Origin and Meat quality. This is how Beef from Austriawhich stands for regionality, transparency and trust.

Our requirements and quality criteria

High-quality meat starts at the source. That is why we attach great importance to clear standards in husbandry, feeding and transport. Our requirements are defined transparently and form the basis for sustainable partnerships with our suppliers.
The welfare of the cattle takes centre stage. Our partner farms are committed to high standards in cattle farming - from spacious stalls and access to pasture to healthy feeding and regular health checks. These measures create stress-free conditions that are directly reflected in the quality of the meat.
Every cow is clearly documented from the farm of origin to delivery. Our digital systems ensure traceability across all stages of the process - from calf to fattening to slaughter. This transparency is the basis for food safety and trust.
Our cattle suppliers deliver animals with defined quality parameters: optimum carcass weight, uniform marbling and fine muscle fibres. In this way, we ensure that every piece of beef meets our high sensory and technological requirements.
We favour cattle suppliers from the region. Short transport times minimise stress and strain, safeguard the welfare of the animals and ensure consistently high meat quality - a significant contribution to sustainable cattle production in Austria.
