Our Agriculture Framework
Three Pillars of Excellence

Our agriculture approach is built on three core pillars that drive welfare, performance, and sustainability across our supply chain.

Husbandry
Genetics
Environment
Our Agriculture Framework

Husbandry

At Foyle we place a strong emphasis on exceptional husbandry standards to underpin animal welfare and sustainable beef production. Across our supply chain, cattle are cared for under consistent standards that support health, comfort, and natural behaviour. Within the Farms of Excellence programme, animal health is prioritised through specifically formulated diets, robust vaccination programmes and excellent biosecurity. Housing and handling systems are designed to support comfort, health and natural behaviour. Our agriculture team works closely with farmers, providing regular on-farm support and sharing best practice. This hands-on approach delivers healthier animals, improved performance, and gives our customers confidence in the integrity, welfare, and consistency of our production systems.

Our Agriculture Framework

Genetics

Foyle Agriculture’s Superior Genetics Programme drives measurable improvements in cattle performance across our supply chain. The programme focuses on genetics that deliver higher growth rates, improved feed efficiency, and greater lifetime productivity. By improving overall performance, cattle reach finishing targets sooner, helping to reduce age at slaughter while maintaining high welfare standards. Strong emphasis is placed on carcass conformation and consistency to meet market specifications and customer expectations. Performance data is used to support responsible genetic progress and continuous improvement. This balanced approach improves efficiency and sustainability while delivering long-term value for farmers and processors, giving customers confidence in the quality, consistency, and integrity of our beef from farm to fork.

Our Agriculture Framework

Environment

Environmental sustainability is a core part of the Foyle Agriculture programme, supported through industry collaboration and practical on-farm action. We work with farmers to promote responsible grassland management that improves productivity while protecting natural resources. Regenerative agriculture practices are encouraged to enhance soil health and fertility, improve slurry and manure management, and reduce reliance on chemical inputs. These measures play an important role in managing and reducing on-farm greenhouse gas emissions, lowering the overall environmental impact of our supply chain. Adoption of biological fertilisers and incorporation of more diverse, multi-species swards enhance soil structure, biodiversity, and resilience. Together, these approaches support sustainable farming systems that balance environmental stewardship with long-term productivity and profitability.
