SUMMARY:Chianina National Show
DESCRIPTION:The Chianina\, an ancient Italian breed and one of the largest cattle breeds in the world\, has been in South Africa since 1984\, with fewer than a thousand registered animals in the country today.

Beef producers curious about the breed’s growth rate\, lean meat yield and value in crossbreeding programmes will find this the ideal place to learn more.

SUMMARY:Frontier Bonsmaras Production Sale
DESCRIPTION:Each year the Frontier Bonsmara group sells around 70 to 80 bulls and 400 commercial females at the Grahamstown Auction Yard\, conducted by Hobson & Co. Every bull passes the Bonsmara society’s standards plus three independent selections and is vet-tested for fertility and disease\, and no bulls are sold off the farm to protect quality. With most bulls bought by commercial farmers within 200km of Makhanda\, it is a trusted source of medium-framed\, fertile cattle adapted to the Eastern Cape’s harsh disease challenges.
