Our herd

Our breeding philosophy it is centered around producing cattle that are efficient in converting feed into high-quality beef with desirable traits. The main elements of our breeding philosophy for beef cattle include:

Selecting superior genetics: We carefully select superior breeding stock based on traits such as growth rate, feed efficiency, and carcass quality. Genetic testing is also used to identify animals with desirable traits and to avoid those with genetic defects or undesirable traits.

Maintaining well-balanced cattle “Performance and functionality” : Our cattle are primarily raised for beef production, so our breeding programs select carcass traits such as marbling, tenderness, and flavour. Additionally, we select sires that are also well ranked for maternal ability and easy calving among others. These traits are highly heritable, and this careful selection has led to significant improvements in our cattle quality over time.

Balancing growth and carcass quality: We aim to balance growth rate and carcass quality to ensure that cattle reach market weight efficiently while still producing high-quality beef. This involves selecting animals with good feed conversion rates, good muscling, and desirable fat distribution.

Overall, our breeding philosophy is focused on producing efficient, high-quality beef through careful selection of breeding stock and genetic testing, with an emphasis on balancing performance, functionality, growth and carcass quality.
