Our Barley Beef Program
The Greenham Barley Beef (BB) Program is a free-range fodder-fed pathway for cattle raised according to NEVER EVER or Dairy Beef Program requirements and finished with access to a 50% barley ration for at least 90 days.
Designed to fill a market gap for year-round free-range, grainfed beef, the program showcases the stringent animal welfare practices and nutritious finishing diet fed by accredited producers.
To be eligible for financial premiums when supplying Greenham, cattle consigned under the Barley Beef Program must be:
- Raising Claim
- Key Requirements
Lifetime traceable
Cattle must be individually traceable for their whole lives. Traceability can be recorded using NLIS tags and further strengthened by farm management tags and on-farm record keeping.
Barley finished
Livestock should be raised on pasture and finished on a barley ration.
Lifetime antibiotic-free
Includes therapeutic antibiotics and ionophores (e.g. Rumensin) in lick blocks and feed but not drenches.
No added hormones
Livestock must be HGP-free and not fed finishing diets that contain steroids.
Free range
Never confined to a feedlot.
