OUR

STUD

The Brangus is a composite breed, originally composed of 3/8’s Brahman and 5/8’s Angus.

 

The first Brangus animal was imported to South Africa in 1963.  
Brangus cattle inherit the best of both worlds. The Brahman, hailing from India, contributes its heat tolerance, hardiness, and resistance to pests.  Angus, with its Scottish roots, brings marbling, muscle, and a calm demeanor. 

 

Helpmekaar farm is proud to hold one of the oldest gene pools in the country.  A consequence of multi-generational commitment to this incredible cattle breed.  

 

Our Brangus cattle delivers exceptionally well on core cattle farming efficiencies such as temperament, ease of calving, great weaning & mothering  ability and most importantly they are adaptable and hardy increasing their disease tolerance.

Die natuur leer my om vloeibaar te wees, om in harmonie met haar ritmes te wees.
