A cut above the rest

Sophie Cumber, the butcher at the Bowhouse food market on Balcaskie Estate in Fife, has begun selling rare breed beef from Lincoln Red cattle, which were introduced to the estate last year. Lincoln Red is an ancient breed of cattle that, in the face of increasing demand for more commercial fast-growing breeds, is now endangered. Bowhouse said that developing and expanding the herd will be made sustainable through meat sales, with Cumber’s whole-carcass approach meaning there’s no waste. bowhousefife.com
