Our story begins four generations back where the farm was a mixed operation consisting of cash crops, dairy cows, sheep and cattle for beef. Tough economic times and climatic changes directed the farm to more sustainable and profitable practices. This is where the Drakensberger has taken the lead to secure us a future in a changing agricultural landscape.
The Drakensberger Breed
The Drakensberger is a medium-frame beef animal with a smooth coat, strikingly long and deep body with a mild temperament. Indigenous cattle breed, bred and developed through natural and scientifically based selection, resulting in adaptability, hardiness and natural resistance against ticks and tick-borne diseases.
The modern Drakensberger is the culmination of the development through strict selection based on scientific norms, with emphasis on the important economic traits such as adaptability, fertility, high milk production and low mortalities, growth, feed conversion and carcass quality.
