Afrikaner Cattle Characteristics
Afrikaner cattle originated from wild cattle on the Asian steppes produced throughout South Africa.
Afrikaner cattle are produced throughout South Africa and in some of our neighboring countries, such as Namibia, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Mozambique.
The Afrikaner breed of cattle ranges in size from medium to large and is often deep red.
They have long, upward-facing horns, though they are polled for commercial purposes.
Due to their migration from Asia, cattle are now most suited to survive in arid desert environments, inclement weather, tropical diseases, and internal and external parasites.
The Afrikaner has a strong genetic leaning toward juicy and tender meat.
The cows are great mothers, having few calving issues and yielding a lot of milk.
They have a reputation for “no-nonsense” cattle.
