We started our stud in 2013 with the purchase of five registered cows from Bos Blanco. From day one, our vision was clear: to focus solely on stud breeding, rather than building a commercial herd. While this approach meant a longer, more deliberate journey, we firmly believed that true value lies in selecting and developing genetic excellence – and that stud animals best capture that value.

 

In 2017, we acquired our first animal at a national auction. The following year, in 2018, we hosted our first auction alongside Marnus Steyl – a major milestone in our farming journey.

 

Strong maternal lines have always played a central role in our breeding philosophy. Because our father was previously involved in dairying, we understood early on that proven maternal lines are the cornerstone of a reliable breeding program. Without this foundation, there is no genetic consistency or stability in calves. With them, you can count on exceptional progeny year after year.

 

In 2019, we sold our first bull for over R100,000. Since then, we’ve reached several key milestones:

​

• In 2017 we sold our first bull, JAN 1401 at Afridome at the National Beefmaster Auction to Jan Schoeman from Oktavia Beefmasters.

• In 2018 we sold our first stud bull, BOS 1348 to Paul van Vuuren from V8 Beefmasters in Vryburg.

• In 2019 we sold JAN 1502 to Guy Rensburg from Rensgrow Beefmasters in Komga, Eastern Cape.

• In 2020, we sold JAN 1705 to Maritz Wolfaardt from Marnell Beefmasters from Hoopstad in the Free State.

• In 2021,Chris van Heerden & Christian Le Roux from Gantouw Beefmasters, Bronkhorstpruit acquired our highest priced bull at our auction, JAN 1905.

• In 2022, we set a new farm record when Beef on Grass Beefmasters from Warmbad bought JAN 1909 and achieved the highest price.

• In 2023 (JAN 2047) and 2024 (JAN 2150), Wynand & Philip from NGB Beefmasters purchased the most expensive bulls.

 

 

We believe these milestones speak to the quality and sustainability of our breeding program – and it’s this foundation that we proudly continue to build upon for the future.
