Building a reputation in the SA beef industry
FAST FACTS
Veld-tested bulls from the Bosveld Santa Gertrudis Study Group have been selected for their ability to excel and maintain condition under extensive veld conditions.
The bulls that undergo the study group’s rigorous veld testing are kept on the veld for an extended period of at least one winter and one summer season.
The study group has assisted a number of emerging farmers in areas such as Mahikeng and Brits to artificially inseminate some 200 cows with semen donated by its members.
The motto of the Bosveld Santa Gertrudis Study Group is: We think differently. The group’s quest is to provide the best possible veld-adapted genetics to the South African beef cattle industry. To that effect, the group has implemented innovative bull veld tests coupled with strict selection processes. Farmer’s Weekly first reported on the activities of these breeders, then known as Santa Veldbeestelers, in 2014.
