Beef farming in Wales

 

Beef farming in Wales thrives on its lush grasslands, where hardy native breeds like Welsh Black or Limousine cattle are raised mainly on pasture. Known for quality, Welsh beef is often certified by the PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) scheme, highlighting its high standards and regional character.

Hybu Cig Cymru (HCC) oversees this designation, ensuring strict standards in terms of traceability, animal welfare, and processing locations to maintain the quality associated with the Welsh Beef brand.
