Lifetime Traceability
Every Cape Grim Beef animal is individually traceable for its whole life. Traceability is recorded using NLIS tags and further strengthened through Greenham’s comprehensive record-keeping. Where all NEVER EVER cattle are bred, born, raised and finished on NE-accredited properties, we can be 100% confident that cattle are raised in accordance with the program from birth to slaughter.
Third-Party Audited
Producers participating in our programs undergo rigorous third-party audits to ensure they meet all program requirements at all times. Auditors, including those from Livestock Integrity Solutions Australasia, are repeated periodically to maintain accreditation.
Verified Claims
We collaborate with leading organisations to verify our claims, ensuring our programs meet some of the industry’s most trusted standards — including verification from QMS Project Verified™ and Certified Humane®.
Cape Grim’s traceability story begins with geography. Every animal in the Cape Grim Beef program is born, raised, and finished on farms in north-west Tasmania — a defined, audited region where the air quality, pasture management, and farming practices meet our strict program requirements. There is no blending with cattle from other regions or programs.
Each animal carries a National Livestock Identification System (NLIS) tag from birth. This tag records every movement — from paddock to saleyards to processing facility — creating an unbroken chain of custody. When combined with Greenham’s lot-level processing records, every cut on your plate can be linked back to an individual animal and the farm it came from.
Cape Grim is home to the CSIRO’s Baseline Air Pollution Station — one of only four global atmospheric monitoring sites. Air at Cape Grim consistently records the world’s lowest particulate matter readings. Our cattle breathe this air their entire lives.
All Cape Grim Beef cattle meet the Certified Humane® standard — a rigorous, independent audit of animal welfare practices. Cattle are raised free-range on pasture, with no growth hormones or routine antibiotics, and are handled according to strict humane standards from farm to processing.
Cape Grim Beef operates under Greenham’s Never Ever program — a verified assurance that no growth hormones or antibiotics have ever been administered to any animal in the program. This is independently audited at farm level and throughout the supply chain.
All Cape Grim Beef is born, raised, and processed in Tasmania. The Tasmanian Provenance Mark certifies genuine Tasmanian origin — a guarantee of regional integrity for consumers and trade buyers.
Cape Grim Beef farms are assessed under the Global Animal Partnership (GAP) 5-Step Animal Welfare Rating program. Our farms consistently achieve Step 4 rating or above — recognising pasture-centred farming with no physical alterations.
