It is Jan who selects the calves with care. Jan allows his calves to grow in complete peace, and he gives them the best possible nourishment and care. After all, you can taste the good nutrition and care in the meat. That is why at Jan, we produce our own cattle feed. This allows us to keep quality and taste of our meat at a high level.
