SA Braford Cattle Breeders Society 03
Brafords are the versatile Veld and Feedlot beef choice!
FERTILITYFertility is the single most important quality
considered in the selection of the SA Braford. The intercalf
periods of our top Breedplan cow herds are 368 and 375
respectively, and the society as a whole is aiming to achieve
average ICP of 400.Braford bulls have exceptional libido and strict
selection is done on scrotal circumference.
ADAPTABILITYThe winning combination of top Hereford and Brahman
genes enables the Braford to adapt, reproduce and thrive in a
variety of very different environments from extreme heat to extreme
cold, wet and dry environments and Brafords cope extremely well
with South African diseases.Current Braford studs operate
successfully in Gauteng, Limpopo, Mpumalange, Kwa-Zulu Natal, Free
State, Northern Cape and Eastern Cape. There are also Braford
breeders in Namibia and a commercial Braford stud was recently
established in Mauritius.
SA Brafords are medium frame beef cattle that have the potential
to utilize even low quality grass to produce on average weaner
calves of 45-50% of cow weight. Average birth weights are between
30-36kg and weaning weights should be in the range of 170-
270kg.
The SA Braford consistently performs exceptionally well at the
Vrede Veldbulklub. Over a period of 9 years the Braford groups have
realised Average Daily Gains on veldgrass of 752 grams for the
duration of the test (winter & summer) and has been the breed
with the highest selection percentage of all breeds.
In intensive feeding environments such as feedlots Brafords can
average as much as 2kg weight gain per day.

VRUGBAAR AANPASBAAR DOELTREFFEND
Weston Agricultural Collge is 'n 96-jaar oue seuns Landbouskool
met sterk tradisies wat geleë is buite die dorpie Mooirivier in die
pragtige Natalse middellande.
Die GR 11 Leerders aan Weston word onderrig in Voerkraalbestuur
en neem jaarliks aan die Royal Show by Pietermaritsburg deel,
waarvoor hulle self die diere moet voorberei asook voervloei
programme, voeromset verhoudings en koste effektiwiteit bepaal.
In 2010 het leerders aan Weston College die uitstekende
prestasie behaal van 'n algehele eerste plek in die SAMIC karkas
kompetisie by die Royal Show met 'n 98,11% telling vir die karkas
van 'n Braford-tipe dier. Die wen karkas het Gemiddelde Daaglikse
Toename van 1,88kg in die voerkraal behaal met 'n uitstekende
voeromset verhouding van 1:5,79.
Die Braford Beestelersgenootskap was so beiindruk met die
Braford-tipe os se prestasie asook die Weston seuns se harde werk
en deursettings vermoë, dat 'n groep Natal Braford
Klublede saamgespan het om 'n aantal speenkallers aan Weston
College te skenk vir gebruik in die Voerkraal bestuurprogram asook
vir die hoef en karkas kompetisies.
Die Braford genootskap is bevoorreg om te kan deel wees van die
opvoedingsproses en opgewonde om te kan belê in die toekomstige
bees boere van Suid Afrika!
Ons wens die GR11 Weston leerders van 2011 alle voorspoed toe en
weet die Brafords en Westons gaan vorentoe weer saam wen!
