Ben Challum Beef Available in Edinburgh

Available seasonally and in limited quantities, we are very excited to be supplying beef from our own grass fed suckler cow herd directly to two city centre pubs in Edinburgh operated by our sister company D M Stewart Ltd.

The Guildford Arms in West Register Street and The Abbotsford Bar in Rose Street have been using a variety of cuts for the last year as Specials alongside their usual menus.

The Luing Breed

The Luing was developed as a cow breed – a truly commercial breed – to help fill a gap in Beef Production – the need for a suitable cow which could be bred pure or crossed and which could rear a well grown calf under adverse conditions.

A paper on Breeding and Management, presented by Duncan Stewart at The Hill Cattle Conference in Oban, in February 1945, that gives an insight into the thinking behind the formation of Ben Challum Limited and the role of cross-highland breeds.

Low Maintenance Luings

THE LUING is renowned for being one of the hardiest hill cows available. However, it is rapidly gaining recognition further down the valley by providing the backbone of the increasingly popular SimLuing suckler female.
