We are the Alp family, and we are 3rd generation farmers from Beermullah in the shire of Gingin.
We farm with our 3 young children and produce black angus cattle and cross bred lambs. When purchasing from us you are supporting a small family farm, with over 80 years' experience farming this land.
We believe it is our duty to leave our farm and livestock to our children in a better condition than we received it in and in such we follow some regenerative farming techniques and actively seek to improve the quality of our end products through selection of industry leading genetics.
We produce top-quality premium black angus beef and prime lamb that is sold in gourmet butcher shops. Now it's your turn to try our beef and lamb for yourself.
This is our premium quality lamb that is sold to butcher shops. Our lamb is a speciality mix of breeds that we find does well on our land and produces a consistently juicy, tender and high-quality end product. The lamb is grass fed to a certain weight and then goes onto a specialty pellet and hay mix to ensure a consistent end product for the consumer. We weigh our lambs weekly using low stress stock handling techniques to ensure a happy healthy lamb. They are then processed a short 20-minute drive from our farm before being delivered to The Gingin Butcher to be cut up, this is a low food miles product that is both good for the environment and your body.

What is “dressed weight? and why is it important?
When buying a side (or quarter) of a cow/sheep etc, the final weight you receive will be less than the total listed by the farmer.
Dressed weight, otherwise known as “hanging weight” is the weight of the carcass after the animal as been killed and the head, blood and offal removed.
So this dressed weight includes all the meat, fat and bones from the “side” of an animal.
From here, the butcher will prepare your “side” or “quarter” based on your specifications.
Some loss of weight can occur through the process of “dry aging” where the meat is allowed to safely “age” this helps to tenderize the meat, but results in some weight loss.
The cut specifications can also have an impact on your final weight, for example, T-bones with bone out will weigh less than bone in.
Dressed weight is used as it is the “most fair” and “most correct” method of weighing an animal for processing.
On average, “boxed weight” can be anywhere from 20% to 30% less than dressed weight.
