At Maleny Black Angus Beef, we pride ourselves on producing premium-quality 100% grass-fed beef that is as natural as it gets. This week, from out of nowhere, you may have heard about a feed additive called Bovaer, a supplement designed to reduce methane emissions in cattle. While so-called “innovations” like these are gaining attention in the livestock industry, we have chosen a different path—one rooted in simplicity, sustainability, and tradition.
Here’s why we don’t use Bovaer or any other additives as part of our farming practices.
100% Grass-Fed and Grass-Finished
Our cattle thrive on the lush, nutrient-rich, “salad-bowl” pastures of South East Queensland. From the moment they are born, they feed exclusively on multi-species grasses, just as nature intended. This approach eliminates the need for intervention with grains or feedlot systems, allowing our animals to roam freely and graze naturally in their herd environments. We have found that happy and healthy cattle provide us with the best tasting and highest quality beef.
Our Farming Philosophy
At Maleny Black Angus Beef, we don’t use ANY additives—no Bovaer, no vaccines, no hormones, no antibiotics. This commitment to 100% grass-fed, grass-finished ensures our beef remains the best tasting and most nutritious meat available. While some large corporates may believe that additives like Bovaer have environmental benefits, they simply don’t align with our values of providing wholesome, minimally interfered-with grass-fed beef.
Ethical and Sustainable Farming
Our farming methods focus on holistic land management. By utilising farming practices such as paddock rotation, we support soil health and pasture biodiversity. We care for our cattle and land in a way that ensures the health of both at all times. In doing so, we know that the beef we produce is healthy for both you and the environment.
What This Means for You
Choosing Maleny Black Angus Beef means that you are choosing:
- Uncompromised Quality: Our beef is tender, delicious, and nutrient-dense because it’s raised as nature intended.

- Support for a Local Farming Family: By purchasing from us, you’re backing sustainable practices that respect animals, the land, and your health, as well as supporting a local farming family.
At Maleny Black Angus Beef, our approach stands as a testament to traditional farming. We believe that nature provides all the tools we need to produce world-class grass-fed, grass-finished beef, and we’re proud to uphold these values in every cut we deliver.
