BERGALLEEN PINZ2YL STUD
Bennie van der Linde grew up on his grandfather’s farm nestling in the Magaliesberg mountains outside Rustenburg. His grandfather believed the conventional farmer’s wisdom that proper beef cattle must be red in colour with a straight back. The family farm has been sold many years ago whilst Bennie was still a young boy. But he kindled the boyhood dream of a farm and cattle of his own. Bennie diligently set savings aside to realizing his dream of an own farm. Having thought that they had saved enough, Bennie and Cecilia set out on The Big Farm Purchase Expedition in 2010.

KHOMA, XISAKA, MAVONAN & MONYANE PINZ2YL STUD
The three brothers and their mother all having individual PinZ²yl Studs KHOMA, XISAKA, MAVONA & MONYANE PINZ²YL STUDS. The Limpopo Study Group venture came to them as a good opportunity. They knew that the PinZ²yl was a breed to have as it was born and bred for Africa and that their cattle would be looked after in a safe and controlled environment. They loved the breed because it looks like the Nguni breed although PinZ²yl is much better as it is an improved breed, they also liked the fact that the PinZ²yl breed is suitable for the harsh African conditions as the Nguni ;and also improved beef quality and production rates from the Pinzgauer. They say the fact that they can have cattle without necessarily owning a farm and knowing that their cattle are looked after by professionals give them reasons to sleep peacefully at night.

LUCROY PINZGAUER & PINZ2YL STUD
Lucroy Stud was founded by Eugene & Taryn Cilliers along with their two sons Luca and Troy. Their love for the Pinzgauers started when Eugene visited a farmer’s day event and decided to start a small stud in Muldersdrift. The once small stud quickly changed into a steady growing number of animals and they needed to move to a farm which they could call home. The Lucroy Stud Farm is situated in Fochville and now plays home to Pinzgauer, PinZ²yl and Nguni Studs. Eugene’s love for the PinZ²yl’s started after the 2014 Bloemfontein Show where he then bought a few cows and heifers from different breeders in the society as well as Paul the Champion PinZ²yl Bull to start his own PinZ²yl herd.

REBAMA PINZGAUER STUD
Mooketsi being a Low veld region we find ourselves in climatic conditions which are most favourable to tick borne diseases as this region is endemic to varies vectors. The prevalence of infection is so high that if there is poor herd management this can result in great herd losses. Tick borne disease are transmitted by tick bites, different ticks shed different diseases. Most tick borne diseases are acute and fatal. Due to the current weather pattern we experience high tick infestation. It is very imperative to have an intact strategic control program to avoid multiplication of ticks in our herds.

Dale Wheeler farms in the Devon area near Johannesburg. He send us some information regarding his Stud:
“I started farming 9 years ago and have had my Pinzgauer herd for about 6 years now. I chose the Pinzgauer breed mainly for their temperament as well as their markings. It is important for me to be able to identify each animal on site, not just a whole herd of brown cows!
