Southern Ranges: Trusted Grass-Fed Excellence from Victoria
Southern Ranges has become synonymous with honest, clean beef in Australia. Their cattle roam open Victorian paddocks, feeding on lush, nutrient-rich grasses. Through disciplined grazing rotation and regeneration-focused management, they ensure better soil, pasture, and animal welfare.
This isn’t factory farming by another name. No hormones, no antibiotics, and no hidden grains. Just meat raised with character, and with traceability to match. From the paddock to your kitchen, Southern Ranges tracks every step, giving you confidence and quality in every kilogram.
What MB4+ Brisket Brings to the Table
MB4+ refers to a mid-level marbling score in beef, and it is ideal for brisket. The score reflects the visible intramuscular fat, which melts during cooking to create tenderness and depth of flavour. Here is what this brisket delivers:
-
Balanced Marbling: MB4+ indicates visible intramuscular fat woven throughout the meat, sufficient to keep it moist without making it greasy.
-
Great Fat Cap: A naturally trimmed fat layer protects the muscle during long cooks while enhancing the formation of a rich, flavorful bark.
-
Consistent Texture: Tougher than ribeye but tender when done right, this brisket has enough structure for slicing while remaining juicy.
-
For Pitmasters and Beginners: It performs well whether you’re smoking, roasting, or braising, consistently delivering satisfying tenderness.
-
Clean Eating Credentials: Free from hormones and antibiotics, it’s a fuss-free choice for clean-eating devotees and conscious carnivores.
The Case for Grass-Fed & Grass-Finished
Choosing grass-fed and grass-finished beef is about more than taste. It is a commitment to better farming, better health, and better food.
-
Nutritional Advantages: Grass-fed beef contains higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), all of which support heart and metabolic health. It is naturally lean but still flavourful thanks to the steady development of muscle and fat on pasture.
-
Richer, Earthier Flavour: Without grain in the diet, the brisket develops a nuanced flavour that reflects its natural environment. It is meaty, grassy, and slightly nutty, a flavour that stands on its own or pairs beautifully with rubs and smoke.
-
No Hormones or Antibiotics: You get beef the way nature intended. No interference, no artificial growth cycles, and no chemical residues.
-
Better for the Environment: Grass-fed systems support rotational grazing and improve soil health. These regenerative practices make a meaningful impact on biodiversity and water retention.
