Our Beef Cuts

At FX Buckley Butchers, we go to great lengths to ensure that we bring you the finest quality beef. Our commitment to excellence begins with the meticulous process of hand selecting each and every cut we offer.

First and foremost, breed matters. We exclusively source Aberdeen Angus and Hereford cattle, renowned for their superior meat quality. These heritage breeds are known for their rich marbling, tenderness, and exceptional flavour. By focusing on specific breeds, we guarantee consistency and uphold the highest standards of taste and texture.

Sex and age also play a crucial role in determining the quality of our beef. We prioritize selecting prime young heifers, typically between 12 and 24 months old. This age range ensures optimal tenderness and allows the meat to develop the perfect balance of flavour and succulence.

We consider a multitude of factors that impact the overall quality of Irish beef. Our experienced team pays close attention to factors such as animal welfare, feed quality, and farming practices. We source our beef from trusted local farmers who share our commitment to sustainable and ethical farming methods, ensuring that every step of the process upholds our high standards.

Additionally, we use the EUROP grading scale to assess the conformation of beef carcasses. This objective grading system helps us determine the overall quality, shape, and muscularity of the meat. The scale ranges from E (excellent) to P (poor), with grades A, B, and C representing the most desirable cuts in terms of conformation.

With our meticulous hand selection process, we guarantee that every cut of beef you find at our shop meets our strict criteria for taste, tenderness, and quality.
