Meet Gav our Butcher
I'm a third-generation butcher having started learning my craft at 15 from my father in our family business. Dad managed the famous W Pope and Co in Murray Street, Perth before starting his own business, M&L Meats, in 1984. Grandad was also a butcher, working at Midland Abattoir in the 1950s. I took over the family business in 2010 before closing the doors in 2025 to spend more time farming at Hopeland. Shortly after, I took up the opportunity to lead the Yangedi Beef Butcher Shop.
We bought our own property at Hopeland with the aim of nurturing our own Murray Grey cattle and Wiltipoll sheep so I could supply premium meat to the market. In the retail world, it is hard to buy high-quality grass-fed cattle so we worked hard to produce the best grass we could on our land so I could ensure the quality of our meat. I got the love of farming from my Mum’s side. Mum was born in Yarloop and her extended family is still growing beautiful grass-fed Murray Greys around Waroona.
Along with running M&L Meats I also provided an on-farm service kill for local farmers. This gave me the opportunity to meet local farmers and learn of the many ways farmers were also producing excellent grass-fed animals. Now at Yangedi Beef and having completed my Meat Inspector qualifications, I have full control of the meat my team produces. From animal selection to the time and space to allow the bodies to hang to perfection, it all goes towards producing the best meat possible.
