The South African Boran was founded out of a need by commercial farmers that
were tired of over managed and over fed animals and started searching for the
ultimate grass fed animal. It had to survive in our country’s diverse climate
and handle periodic droughts without human intervention and good management. We
had two extremes, on the one hand the perfect carcass animal (high maintenance &
expense), and on the other hand we had indigenous breeds (lower income from
abattoir penalties) that was just not meeting our market standards. But there
was nothing in between and so the Boran came to fill the gap with an acceptable
carcass for our market with low to no input cost (optimum income).
