Robertson Abattoir is based in the Western Cape. It mainly processes lamb, mutton and beef.  Currently we are registered as a high throughput abattoir.  Daily sourcing of animals is mainly from the Western Cape and Southern Cape depending upon the season.  However we sometimes procure from Northern Cape as well.  Robertson has its own feedlot where we finish up to 6000 lamb at a time.

 

We believe we are unique when compared to other suppliers due to the long relationship we have with our clients such as Excellent Meat ( 18 years) and Woolworths( 13 years). The exclusivity we ensure means our competition remains left behind. We are also always experimenting with Woolworth’s technical team to improve methods and develop better ways of producing the best.  The “open book” relationship, compared with thinking long term is definitely a way in the right direction.

 

Robertson is exclusive to Excellent  in terms of retail supply and because of this we believe to have the same mind-set about quality and integrity of the product we produce.  We produce the cleanest of products and adhere to the highest of grading specifications.  Recently we have worked closely with Excellent to develop some of their best meat products.  Slaughtering dry aged beef which requires building long time relationships with the farmers to get the best animals.  The carcasses are then hip hyper stretched to improve the tenderness of the strip loin. We also helped with the hyper stretching of the lambs which ensures tenderness of the loin.  All lamb sent to Excellent from Robertson is slaughtered this way.

 

Robertson Abattoir produces excellent quality and we endeavour to be the leader in this market.
