Ja-Niel Herefords 2.06

The Ja-Niel Hereford Stud started in 1992 as a hobby with the purchase of three females from Roulou Herefords. With the purchase of La Fleur in 1997 the herd was expanded with animals purchased from fellow breeders throughout South Africa.

The stud, definitely no longer a hobby, comprises 100 females which will be expanded through the reduction of the commercial section. The stud actively participates in agricultural shows to measure the quality of its animals and to promote the stud. During the last few years a number of champions have been delivered as well as animals that have come either first or second in their respective class.

The Stockman bloodline which has done extremely well and delivered a number of champions in this country features very prominently as well as the Happy Days bloodline renowned for producing excellent females. The more promising bull calves undergo Phase C testing at Elsenburg and in 2006 the SA Hereford Society awarded three of our Bulls with the best feed conversion ratio of 4.82 which has not been bettered to date. We will commence with a production sale from 2011. Visitors are always welcome and prospective buyers will not be disappointed.
