Taste & ExperienceJoin The Herd
Packing a protein punch, Biltong is a healthy snack that is great on the run or for the diet conscious.
For the campers, hunters or hikers amongst us – youβll struggle to find other snacks that don’t mind being stored in your pocket, that have the same nutritional value and are as filling as biltong! And for you desk jockeys, this is an easy way to make your colleagues very jealous.
No doubt theyβll be asking for a piece.
Absolutely awesome. Moist and full of flavour. The chilli packs a real kick, definitely my favourite. Will be ordering more! Peter Hanna - The HERD Biltong's #1 Fan

Who We AreThe HERD Biltong
The Herd Biltong provides fresh, high quality biltong based out of Queensland, Australia.
What separates us from the rest?
We use no preservatives in our product. Itβs all made from natural Australian based ingredients.
We bag, chop then vacuum seal our biltong and droeworsΒ within 24h of coming out of our drying cabinet. Vacuum sealing preserves the quality of the product without the need for moisture/oxygen absorbing sachets which can sometimes deteriorate the flavour of biltong.
IntroducingThe Secret to Our Amazing Recipe
100% Premium Aussie Beef
Quality meat yields a quality product. We use 100% Premium Aussie grain-fed beef in our biltong.
Superior Ingredients & Spices Combo
Our Biltong comes from a recipe based on heritage – the same ingredients utilised in the same traditional way, but weβve modernized ancient techniques and are able to produce a very, very good product. We feature a good blend of salt, finely ground black pepper, toasted coriander seeds, crushed chilli flakes, and dehydrated garlic.
Handcrafted With Love
We love to transfer our passion through our product to our customers. Every piece of biltong is handcrafted with skill, experience, care and love, through the respect of our South African heritage channelled into the finessing of our product.

The Goods MakersThe Team behind the Tong
The Herd Biltong was founded by a handsome chap named Jared Abrahamse (myself) and his gorgeous partner Olivia Barbato.
Jared is a first generation Australian with a long ancestry of South Africanβs mainly based in Cape Town. Jared had worked in commercial kitchens as a youngster but migrated careers in search of a larger wage, despite always having a profound passion and enthusiasm for the art of cooking.
Olivia also shares this passion and has a keen eye for design and photography.
All Australian Beef and Superior Ingredients are what separates us away from the rest. You will not find silica sachets here! #saynotosilica Jared ``TongLord`` Abrahamse

SLICED LIKE A PRO, EATEN BY CHAMPIONS π
Our wet slicer hard at work slicing up a couple of silversides.
We get asked so many questions about this bit of kit, let me tell you why itβs beneficial:
1) Constantly running. We can leave this on constantly and itβll work its magic in the background while all the meat will drop into a tub at the end of the conveyor belt.
2) The blades and housing are removed for easy cleaning (this does take 2 people).
3) Minimal maintenance. Oil the blades and cogs and youβre good to go.
4) Consistent pieces. All the pieces that come out of this machine are relatively uniform making for even drying.

DOUBLED COLD STORE CAPACITY!
I really like posting these kind of events on our socials as a reminder of where we came from and displaying the evolution of our business.
While this may seem boring to some, when we first started our cold storage was an under bench fridge. 1.8m x 600mm. Today we received an adequately sized 2.4m x 3m cold room π₯Άπ₯Άπ₯Ά. This will allow us to get meat in bigger quantities and have enough cold storage to expand our range. Still relatively small in the scheme of things but a small step that unlocks the next few stages of growth.
The downside - our shop has been moved upstairs to our mezzanine permanently. We are looking at making that space a bit prettier in the next few months so bare with us. Our regulars should expect constant changes! A TV to watch the UFC on a Sunday perhapsβ¦π

EVERY GOD DAYAM DAYAYAYAYAYA
Hereβs a sneak peek into how I prepare our commercial kitchen for a busy wet meat production day. I like to get a head start before the team arrives, ensuring everything is perfectly organized (#miseenplace).
First, I fire up the dishwasher so itβs hot and ready when the dirty utensils start piling up. Then, I put away the items that dried overnight, clearing the space for the day ahead.
Next up is the challenging part: setting up the wet slicer, the machine with the blue conveyor belt on the right side of the kitchen. This involves lubricating the gears, tightening screws, and attaching a catcher bar underneath to prevent meat from sticking to the conveyor belt.
Safety and comfort are key in a commercial kitchen, so I lay down rubber floor mats. These mats not only prevent slips and falls but also make standing for hours much more comfortable.
Underneath the bench, I set up a mincer to grind any offcuts straight away. Honestly, we could use a bigger mincer π.
With the equipment ready, I move on to the paperwork: recording batch numbers, ingredients, assigning batches to drying machines, and noting other important details. After that, I set up the scales and weigh out the spice mixes and wet ingredients needed for the day (again - #miseenplace).
This whole process takes about 45 minutes, and just as I finish, the staff start to arrive, ready to kick off another productive day!

WEEKLY SCHEDULE + A VERY FUNNY JOKE
So yea - we`re here ^^^. Now for the joke, I really laughed hard at this one so make sure you read until the end.
A man walked into a bar in Scotland, sat down and ordered a drink. Next to him was a leathery old Scotsman, well into the bottle in front of him.
The man asked the Scotsman if there was something the matter.
The Scot replied; "Aye lad, indeed there is. You see this bar here? I made this bar with me own two hands, slowly crafting it in the time-honored way of my forebears. It took me 4 months, but do they call me MacGregor the bar-builder? Noooooo. "
"You know the dock that your ferry landed at the night before? I built that dock with me own bare hands, finely honing each joint so that it would withstand the weather that mother nature unravels upon it. It took nigh a year, but do they call me MacGregor the dock-builder? Noooooo."
"And do you recall the livery stable you passed on the way into town? I stood that stable up in six months, with nary a bit o` help. To this day that stable is one of the finest in all of Scotland. But do they call me MacGregor that stable-maker? Nooooooo."
"But you fuck one goat..."
