BJ and Johan Visser of Vaalkamdor Boran Stud in the Hopetown, Douglas, and Prieska region emphasise the importance of a strong foundation when building a herd. “With a strong cow herd as your foundation, selected offspring as the walls and bulls as the roof, you can steer your stud or commercial herd in the right direction,” they explain. Their approach highlights the value of Boran cows in crossbreeding programmes, combining adaptability, maternal traits, and economic efficiency.
