THE FUSE

Simmental cattle are one of South Africa’s most versatile and productive beef breeds, valued for their rapid growth, efficient feed conversion, and strong profitability for commercial and small-scale farmers. Originating from Switzerland, Simmentals have been selectively bred in South Africa to thrive under local conditions, combining adaptability with high-quality beef production. Farmers across the country choose this breed for its ability to perform well on pasture-based systems while also excelling in feedlot environments. Their dual-purpose nature allows for both meat and limited milk production, making them a flexible investment for diversified livestock operations.
