Our NEVER EVER Beef Program

The NEVER EVER Beef Program is our on-farm grassfed assurance standard, outlining stringent animal welfare and quality management practices for accredited cattle producers.

The program was established in 2012 in response to growing market demand for traceable, premium grassfed beef, produced naturally.

NEVER EVER raising claims reflect key consumer purchase drivers and underpin Greenham’s suite of premium brands, which have been tailored to meet specific requirements in both domestic and international markets. 

Consistently meeting our customers’ needs ensures continued access to trusted premium markets. 

In addition to recognition for meeting industry-leading standards, NE accreditation makes you eligible for financial premiums when you sell cattle to Greenham.

With endorsement from Certified Humane®, the program underpins some of Greenham’s most renowned premium beef brands, including Cape Grim and Bass Strait, showcasing the rigorous welfare and sustainability practices of accredited producers. 

To be eligible for financial premiums when supplying Greenham, cattle consigned under the NE program must be:

  • Raising claim
  • Key requirement

  • Lifetime traceable

    Cattle must be individually traceable for their whole lives. Traceability can be recorded using NLIS tags and further strengthened by farm management tags and on-farm record keeping.

  • 100% grassfed

    Not fed grain or grain by-products for their whole lives.

  • Lifetime antibiotic-free

    Includes therapeutic and ionophores (e.g., Rumensin) in lick blocks and feed but not drenches. Animals that need to be treated for illness must be tagged and recorded.

  • GMO-free

    Supplementary feed cannot contain genetically modified ingredients. 

  • No added hormones

    Livestock must be HGP-free and not fed finishing diets that contain steroids.

  • Free range

    Never confined for intensive feeding.

  • Meat Standards Australia (MSA) eligible

    Cattle must come from an MSA registered property and meet the minimum standards for MSA grading.

  • Certified Humane

    High welfare outcomes are important to Greenham, our customers, and loyal cattle suppliers. Request a copy of the Greenham NEVER EVER Beef Program for more details.
