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. The Afrikaner cattle’s primitive
roots lay on the Asian steppes among the wild cattle of
that era, evolving from the lateral-horned Zebu without
external influences. This robust breed, resilient in
arid conditions and impervious to tropical diseases,
embarked on a journey into Africa around 2,000 years

adapted to harsh desert conditions and extreme heat
reached the southern tip of the continent. By the 15th
century, Portuguese sailors noted the presence of these
cattle in the south-western region of Southern Africa.
