      We have started to sell our beef carcases directly to the moscow shop !

   For us it is a very good opportunity to open new market. We are the first who can make russian good quality marebelling beef from hareford cattle. We make ourselves all operations on the local meat plant - kill the bulls, aging of the carcases and beef transportation to the shop.

   The "Mega center "Italiya" is on the Center part of Moscow, where rich moscovitas live.

    We have an extra price ( + 2 USD on 1kg. or 2,2, pounds)  for our beef and we are very happy!
