Made from six-eight month old, Riverine buffalo veal, born and pasture-raised at Burraduc regeneratively-managed buffalo dairy farm near Bungwahl on the mid-north coast of NSW.
Apparently even some toddlers demand this biltong. We love our customers...
If you love Burraduc Buffalo Dairy's national award-winning farmhouse cheeses, then you should also love their milk and grass-fed bull veal, the inevitable by-product of any dairy operation. Because you don't get milk without calves and about half of those will be male.
About Burraduc Buffalo Dairy
Burraduc run a compassionate dairy model, sharing the cows' milk with the calves that run with their mothers on pasture for six-eight months before weaning. Each night, the calves go into a creche at the dairy and the cows spend the night out in the pasture. In the morning, the cows are milked and then reunited with the calves which are free to drink all day. After weaning, the bulls are sent 'to market' to become veal and biltong.
