Designed by nature as the perfect solution for regenerative agriculture, strip grazing,
and grass-fed beef. The Boran. With a unique genetic composition, the Boran breed is perfect
for crossbreeding and yields incredible hybrid vigor in any crossbreeding program. Fertility
under the toughest and driest conditions Southern Africa has to offer must be the most important
attribute of the Boran. This characteristic ensures higher profit and higher sustainability
for the beef farmer. Having been in Africa for over a thousand years, the Boran is well adapted
to local conditions. This includes being resistant to ticks and other parasites. This attribute makes
the Boran less expensive to manage. The cattle have less of an impact on the environment and
delivers higher quality manure. This in turn increases the number of microorganisms in the
soil. A truly natural way of herding cattle like nature intended. The Boran mother can protect her
calves against predators and with great other characteristics and an abundance of milk, the Boran
can ensure a calf weight of 50% of the dam's weight. The Boran's mothering ability is proven
in the excellent survival rate of calves, the small size of calves and the ease of birth.
The beef quality of the Boran is exquisite. It is fine grained, tender and is highly marbled
with superior taste. Scientifically proven, top class marbled Zibu beef. The Boran developed a calm
docile temperament over generations of living close to man. They are also easy to herd due to
their strong herd instinct. It is almost impossible to steal a single Boran animal from a herd,
making it the perfect animal for areas plagued by stock theft. Longevity in both the male
and female animals is a standout characteristic of the Boran. As a grazer and a browser, the Boran
fits into any farming system. The future for sustainable, profitable and responsible cattle
farming in South Africa starts with the Boran.
