About Dexter Beef

Dexter beef is considered superior for several reasons:

• Marbling: Dexter cattle are genetically predisposed to have abundant intramuscular fat, which adds flavor and tenderness to the meat. This marbling is a hallmark of premium beef quality. 
• Tenderness: The smaller muscle fibers of Dexter cattle contribute to a consistent texture that is easy to chew, making the meat more enjoyable to eat. 
• Nutritional Benefits: Dexter beef is rich in protein, iron, and Omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential nutrients for overall health. 
• Sustainability: The breed's small size and efficient grazing habits make it a sustainable choice for beef production, with lower environmental impact and efficient feed-to-meat conversion. 
• Flavor Profile: Dexter beef offers a unique flavor profile with a slightly sweet, robust taste, making it a distinctive choice among beef breeds.
