butchering and packaging -

…let us process your beef and lamb to your precise requirements

Launched in 1999 by farmers for farmers Highland Drovers Limited was designed to process beef, lamb and pork for a direct marketing venture. The demand for high specification butchering and packing led us to offer this service on a broader base. We are licensed to enable framers to retail throughout the UK under their own name or brand. We are currently processing for several farmers who are enjoying the improved returns from the increased popularity of farmers markets.

Highland Drovers has recently secured certification as an organic red-meat processing facility.We operate a modern facility in Perth, where we have developed a compact ad efficient unit. In addition to our butchering unit and retail packing facility, we fully mature all carcasses prior to preparation and complements these services with contract blast freezer facilities.
