Don't Let Worms Steal Your Growth
Is your herd looking thin? The problem might be on the inside.
endoparasites (helminths) steal nutrients and slow growth, especially in young calves. A strategic deworming plan with a product like Virbac's Virbamec L or Virbamax First Drench is essential for keeping your animals healthy and gaining weight efficiently, getting them to market faster.
Maximize your growth rates.

Contact us for a deworming plan and the right Virbac products for your farm.

Why Bull Testing Matters 🧬🐂
Selecting the right bull isn’t just about looks or breed—it’s about performance, fertility, and profitability.
Bull testing is a crucial step in herd improvement, allowing you to evaluate a bull’s genetics, growth rate, feed efficiency, and reproductive soundness. By testing your bulls, you ensure that only the strongest, most fertile, and best-performing sires are passing their genetics into your herd.
✅ Benefits of Bull Testing:
Identifies top-performing sires for breeding programs
Improves weaning weights and overall herd efficiency
Ensures bulls are fertile and fit before breeding season
Helps you make data-driven decisions, not guesses
Whether you’re selling bulls or improving your own herd, testing gives buyers and breeders confidence in your program’s quality and credibility.
Remember — a tested bull is a trusted bull.

Tired of buying expensive hay every winter?
Grow your own.

The dry season doesn't have to mean feed crisis. Drought-resistant pasture blends from Key 2 Yield, like certain Teff grasses and Lucerne varieties, can provide standing hay for grazing or can be cut for silage. It’s an investment that pays for itself.

Grow your way out of feed problems. Message us for advice on the right pasture seeds for your area in Zambia.

Want all your calves born when the grass is green? AI lets you plan it.

In Zambia, timing is everything. With Artificial Insemination (AI), you can synchronise your cows to calve at the start of the rainy season. This ensures plenty of milk for the calves and lush grass for the cows, leading to heavier, healthier weaners and a tighter, more manageable calving season.

And, if you need help on pasture management and seed, we’re here to help guide you and supply the perfect grass for your cattle.

Stop leaving your calving season to chance.
WhatsApp us to learn how AI can work on your farm.

Stronger Weaners for the Zambian Market
No matter if you’re supplying local butcheries or large abattoirs — weaning weight is everything. Crossing your Boran, Brahman, or mixed-breed cows with a Beefmaster bull gives you faster-growing, high-quality calves that command premium prices. It’s the quickest way to boost your herd’s performance and profitability.

You can achieve this upgrade by purchasing our top-quality Beefmaster bulls or through our AI services using Beefmaster straws — the choice is yours, and the results speak for themselves.

Worried about the next dry season?
Meet the bull that thrives on less.
Zambian farmers know the challenge of long, dry months. Beefmaster Bulls are renowned for their hardiness and ability to maintain condition on less feed. This means better weight retention through winter and more profit in your pocket at sale time. They are built for our climate.

Want to build a more resilient herd? Message us for information on our available Beefmaster bulls.
