As livestock makes up the biggest part of South Africa’s agriculture, finding cattle for sale is a good business choice. Stock breeders focus on livestock that thrives under local conditions. If you want to find livestock for sale, here is more information to get you started.
The South African Livestock Industry
Dairy farming contributes to the South African economy and creates jobs. There are numerous regions which are suited to dairy farming. The Kwa-Zulu Natal Midlands as well as the Western Cape are both suitable locations for dairy cows.
Holstein and Jersey cows are both great options if you want to become a dairy farmer. Another reason to find cows for sale is for beef farming. Beef farming makes a large contribution to the local agricultural industry.
South Africa produces the majority of its own meat with only a small amount of meat being imported. The Eastern Cape and Limpopo both have areas that are suitable for beef farming. Hereford cattle and Brahman cattle are both suitable if you want to start beef farming. Angus cattle are another option.
Sheep and goat farming take place in the Free State as well as Mpumalanga. Ermelo is an area which is renowned for its wool production. With a wide variety of game in South Africa, it is the ideal location for game farming.
Different Breeds of Cows for sale
If you are looking for livestock for sale, you will need to know which breed is best suited to your requirements. An important step is to decide what type of farming you want to do. The best dairy cows differ from the best beef cattle.

The Bonsmara SA society was set up in 1964. The number of registered cattle in this breed exceeds 130 000 in South Africa.

Hereford cattle are best suited to areas which have a temperate climate. They are typically used for beef farming. This breed originates from Herefordshire in England and the breed can be found in more than 50 countries. These cattle breeds originate from the 1600s and the first bulls were brought to South Africa during 1890.
Brahman Cattle

He start it by him self together with my mother n while mother is gone we live by the small business that they start. I learnd much from young age till now we applied for a farmer but no answers. I wanna start my own farming business so i dnt knw where to start ? Can you assist me
Hi Thabiso,
We’d like to suggest you start doing research about what you’ll need to start your business and how much it will cost. You can then get in touch with somebody who can help you put together a business plan. You could then use this plan to approach potential investors or banks to help fund your business.
Another good option would be to talk to other farmers to find out how they went about getting their business off the ground. Successful farmers will be able to give you good advice on what to do.
Kind regards,
