Exceptional conformation and movement – elevated through Precision farming that delivers our prestigious results.
Breeding Objectives: Unstoppable adaptability and performance is our goal with our Hereford Stud.
How do we measure this? Meat Production: ADG (Average Daily Gain), veld grazing, and feedlot performance. Quality: Eye muscle, marbling, and tenderness. Precision Farming: Measurement of feed conversion and ADG. Fertility: Age at first calving, ICP (Intercalving Period), and testicular development. Feed Conversion: Growth, capacity, and volume. Adaptability: Sustainable production on pasture, wedge shape, walking ability, and constitution. Genetics: Tested for African conditions.
To ensure high meat production with correct conformation, width, and depth.
To promote adaptability on every farm with good bone structure and constitution.
Fertility by mating ewe lambs before 12 months and selecting for multiples. Ewes secure their place in our stud by consistently providing good live lambs each year.
To advance precision sheep farming through regular monitoring. BLUP EBVs are crucial for improving the traits our clients need in their flocks with high accuracy.
By regularly introducing new genetics for comparison with other flocks. This ensures that we can constantly compare our own rams with others to offer the best genetics to our clients.
