Why choose Alzu Beefmasters
We only select
according to Tom Lasater’s six essential traits on which the breed was originally built.
- Temperament
- Fertility
- Weight
- Conformation
- Milk production
- Hardiness
Strive for reproduction efficiency
We focus on breeding the perfect combo between the Bos Indicus and Bos Taurus cattle, giving us light birth weights and heavy weaning weights, making calving easier on your heifers & cows, and speeding up recovery after calving times getting them ready for the next cycle.
Do performance testing in a controlled environment
At ALZU Beefmasters, we do performance testing in a controlled environment. The testing includes measuring birth weights, weaning weights, 12-month weights, and 18-month weights.
Use direct selection
In other words, select for the desired trait. Don’t play with combinations that could end up highlighting only certain traits. Buying a bull isn’t all that difficult. The secret lies in buying a bull that can add value to your business. And value addition is indeed what Alzu Beesmasters focus on.
Utilise nature’s adaptability traits
Alzu has chosen Beefmaster as our chosen breed because of their hardiness under the tough African conditions. Together with the weaning weight trait, the breed’s other inherent traits are hardiness and adaptability, as well as good milk production.
The Beefmaster in South Africa
The South African Beefmaster is handmade by selection for the tough Southern African conditions. Each animal is the product of dedicated breeder’s selection and performance testing, with emphasis on functional efficiency.
Weaning weights improved by 30%
