Welcome to Piemontese

The Piemontese is way ahead of any other beef breed in its ability to kill out at 70% and bone out at 83% - and combined with its reputation for lean, flavoursome beef, it’s maternal qualities and longevity it’s no wonder this Italian breed is attracting a surge of interest from UK beef producers.

Demand for Piemontese bulls is almost outstripping supply as commercial beef producers – and dairy farmers – wake-up to the true potential of a breed which has been steadily improving since it first arrived in the UK in 1988.

And as the Single Farm Payment system forces beef producers to examine their costs of production, the easily managed Piemontese with its high-output carcase and strong maternal traits, is back in the spotlight.
