FATTENING

Premium beef and low maintenance costs through extensive fattening. Cattle fattened on grassland are a good alternative to conventional fattening through housed feeding. For Karpaten Meat, fattening on grassland is an essential condition for producing premium beef. Extensive fattening reduces the rearing effort. In this way cattle management is easier and costs are lower compared to the more common intensive rearing practices.

The current average cattle population constantly on the farm is around 2500 head, and includes fattening calves from our own farm, as well as from partners.
