WELCOME to the Afrikaner Cattle Breeders' Society of South Africa

The captivating history of Afrikaner Cattle in South Africa intertwines with the nation's rich history.

This robust breed, resilient in arid conditions and impervious to tropical diseases, embarked on a journey into Africa around 2,000 years ago.
