The Boran
Incredible Hybrid Vigour
With a unique genetic composition, the Boran breed is perfect for crossbreeding and yields incredible hybrid vigour in any crossbreeding programme.
Fertility
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.
Tick and Parasite Resistance
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 micro-organisms in the soil.
A truly natural way of herding cattle, like nature, intended.
Mother of All Cows
The Boran mother can protect her calves against predators. And with great udder 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 the calves and the ease of birth.
Top Class Beef
The beef quality of the Boran is exquisite. It is fine-grained, tender and is highly marbled with superior taste. The meat is the best the Zebu species has to offer.
Temperament
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.
Stock Theft
It is almost impossible to steal a single Boran animal from a herd, making it the perfect animal for areas plagued by stock theft.
The Boran
Longevity in both male and female animals is a stand-out characteristic of the Boran.
As a grazer and a browser, the Boran fits into any farming system.
