Luing

A tough cross from the Western Isles
Native Breed
Testing Notes:
balanced, herbal, dense

Why this breed

The Luing is toughness personified, hailing from the Inner Hebrides. Strictly speaking the Luing is a cross breed, resulting from the inter breeding of Shorthorns and Highlands, though today is recognised as a breed in its own right. This inter marriage gives the Luing the best of both worlds: a hardy demeanour able to weather the worst of storms, and luscious beef ideal for the top table. Expect well-proportioned cuts, with beef that its characterised by its leaner finish and almost herbal taste.

Exceptional quality

We work closely with dedicated farmers across the UK who share our belief in ethical, sustainable agriculture. Every cut we offer is fully traceable, hand-selected, and expertly butchered to showcase the unique characteristics of each breed.


Whether it's the buttery tenderness of Belted Galloway beef, the rich succulence of Middle White pork, or the delicate flavour of Herdwick lamb, our breeds represent the pinnacle of British farming heritage.
