indigenous cattle - South Africa

Welcome to the Drakensberger
Breeders' Society of South Africa website!

The Drakensberger is totally unrelated to any breed in the world today and is the culmination of the development process through strict selection, based on scientific norms. The existing gene pool cannot be improved and enlarged through the importation of animals, and thus also new genes, when the need arises as in the instance of so many other breeds today. The breed is thus self-sufficient.

Drakensbergers are the true profit breed under extensive conditions in South Africa - In fact, anywhere in the world!

Sy het ook 'n toekenning gekry vanaf die Drakensberger genootskap as 'n preferente "A" koei. Haar TKP is 383 dae en sy is in die boonste 10% van die ras vir geboorte gewig, groei tempo en doeltreffendheid. Vir speengewig is sy 30% beter as die gemiddeld van die ras.

Bulldozer is 'n besonderse harde bespierde bul met 'n lang lyf. Op geboorte het die Bul net 27KG geweeg. Op die veldtoets het die bul as volg presteer:

    GDTndex 120,
