STRAIGHT FACES & STRONG JAWLINES

The structure of the Ankole's face, including the jawline, can be reflective of an animal's overall health. A strong jawline and straight face may indicate good dental health and proper alignment of teeth, which are essential for effective grazing and nutrient intake.

CATTLE GROUP FARMING

For numerous years, Ben Botha and Walter Kinnear have dedicated themselves to the pursuit of cattle farming and stud breeding.

In 2019, they were introduced to the Ankole cattle breed, a moment that sparked their deep passion and commitment. Subsequently, they made a deliberate decision to invest significantly in the establishment of an exclusive, specialiSed, and meticulous Ankole breeding program. This endeavor, marked by precision and dedication, has evolved into a remarkable success.

The program, in conjunction with their active involvement with the esteemed “Cattle of the Kings,” is a source of great enthusiasm for Ben, Walter, and the entire team at Cattle Group Farming, founded in 2020. The vision at Cattle Group Farming is to cultivate the highest quality Ankole cattle in Southern Africa.

The aspiration extends beyond the present, aiming to firmly establish the Ankole cattle breed’s legacy in the region for generations to come.
