The Heritage of Bonsmara
The Bonsmara breed was meticulously developed in the early 1930s by South African rancher Jan Bonsma. His vision was to create a breed that could thrive in the harsh African environment while producing high-quality beef. To achieve this, Bonsma crossed Afrikaner, Shorthorn, and Hereford cattle, carefully selecting for traits like adaptability, fertility, and meat quality.

These cattle are raised on a natural diet, which includes grass, shrubs, and other native vegetation. This results in lean, flavorful meat that’s free from artificial additives.
