Natura-Beef-Bio stands for the highest level of animal welfare
A mother’s love in the herd
The calf grows up in the herd with its mother, drinks its mother’s milk and eats grass and hay grown according to Bio Suisse’s guidelines.
Pasture grazing and fresh air
From spring to autumn, suckler cows and their calves benefit from unrestricted exercise every day in a pasture or on an alpine slope. Their movements are also not restricted in winter: their visits to the spacious exercise yard guarantees ample space and plenty of fresh air.
A gentle separation – the natural way
At the age of nine to ten months, cattle naturally separate from their mothers. At Natura-Beef, this time is used to enable the young animal to separate from its mother while ensuring the process is as stress-free as possible. This is what makes Natura-Beef so unique.

Natura-Beef-Bio stands for sustainable meat production
Organic
Our suckler cows and calves only consume organic feed. No synthetic fertilisers or sprays are used on the farm at all.
Grassland-based feeding
In total, 96% of the feed for suckler cow herds consists of grass, hay and grass silage. The rest is made up of maize silage and grain mixtures. The use of soya, palm oil and palm fat and preventive medication is prohibited.
Biodiversity of flora and fauna
Herds of suckler cows make a significant contribution to preserving the biodiversity of flora and fauna. Farms that are recognised according to the Natura-Beef and Natura-Veal labels preserve areas of biodiversity with a proven level of quality.
Switzerland contains a myriad of grassland
In Switzerland, 80% of the land used for alpine and agricultural purposes consists of meadows and pastures. Suckler cows help to maintain our mountains and hilly landscapes.
100% Swiss
Natura-Beef and Natura-Veal animals are born and raised in Switzerland.
Natura-Beef-Bio
The purest form of enjoyment – organic, natural and environmentally friendly.
Strict label controls
The farms are regularly inspected by the beef control inspection body and the inspection service of Schweizer Tierschutz (STS) on an unannounced basis.
