Cargill Meat Solutions, Wichita, Kan., is introducing the Excel‰ Australian Grain Fed Beef brand, an extension of the Excel‰ Fresh Meats brand.

The new branded offerings will be sold in similarly marked boxes as North American Excel‰ grain-fed beef but will include distinctive markings to designate it as Australian grain-fed beef.

Cargill’s fed-cattle processing facility in Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, Australia, processes the Excel‰ Australian Grain Fed Beef brand.

The Excel‰ Australian Grain Fed Beef brand is selected from grain-fed Bos Taurus cattle that are raised in Southern Australia. The animals are fed a mix of steam-flaked wheat, cottonseed and other supplements that are designed to deliver tender beef with a rich color, Cargill reports.

In addition to Excel‰ Australian Grain Fed Beef, Cargill Beef Australia will soon launch Riverine‰ premium grain-fed beef, while continuing to offer Australian Angus Beef and grass-fed beef.
