American consumers are accustomed to mass-market breeds like Angus, Wagyu, and Beefmaster. In Europe though, many discriminating connoisseurs also appreciate the flavor, tenderness and versatility of the Friesland.

The ancestry of most of our cattle begins in  approximately 100BC when nomadic Hessian and Friesian tribes began cross-breeding their respective herds to produce an ideal large-framed healthy cow that produced healthy, tender, and flavorful beef. Viking Cattle are a unique taste experience -  moist, juicy and flavorful without being fatty.

Our Friesian-cross hybrids are specially selected to grow large-frame cattle that marble well and stay tender. Through careful animal husbandry and stringent genetic controls, you can be assured that the animal harvested for your beef is the strongest, healthiest and best that we can offer.
