ĀBELĪTES / THE STORY OF OUR PASTURES AND BEEF
Galloway cattle
The foundation of our grass-fed beef. The Galloway herd is part of Ābelītes’ natural grazing system and our daily care for the land.
01 / BREED PORTRAIT
The animal and its environment,
that belong together.
We chose Galloways for a pasture-based farming system. Adaptability to local conditions, outdoor living and an unhurried pace of rearing matter to us.
Naturally polled
Natural polledness is one of the breed standard’s characteristics.
A thick coat
The long, thick coat helps them adapt to cool, damp weather.
Suited to grazing
Galloways are used for extensive grazing and grassland management.
A double coat
A thick undercoat and long outer hair are characteristic features of the breed.
Coat colour
Galloways are mainly black. The breed standard also allows other colours.

The story behind our meat begins with the animals’ daily lives. We discuss the next seasonal offer, selection and collection personally.
03 / OUR GRAZING STORY
Pastures change. Our care remains.
In summer, we rotate grazing areas to allow the grassland to regrow. Winter feeding also includes bale grazing in the field.
