EXPERT IN DUCK REARING
Founded in 1962 by Ronnie and Lyla Steele, Silver Hill Foods is a fully integrated family owned Duck Company. They started out in Emyvale, Co. Monaghan, with six top-quality ducks and over time, those were developed into their own breed, the unique Silver Hill Duck.
WHY SO SUCCULENT?
All Silver Hill ducks are fed on a specially formulated wheat and soya based feed that cost more than twice the normal standard. The ducks are given plenty of room in their houses to exercise daily. Each duck is treated humanely, and are hand reared for 42 days.
Two hours before slaughter, they are slowly walked into their resting house where soft music is played to relax them. This is to ensure complete tenderness of the meat.
