BONSMARA STORY
- The Bonsmara breed was developed in South Africa by beef guru Jan Bosma, to meet the demands of producing quality beef under arid and tropical climactic conditions. The Bonsmara breed is now the predominant beef breed in South Africa.
- The Bonsmara breed contains no Bos Indicus influence and gains its hardiness from the Afrikander breed which is a Bos Taurus breed.
- In 1996, Alta imported a number of Bonsmara embryos which were implanted into recipients. The entire resultant herd now numbers approximately 2000 head and is owned by the Chapman family of Amarillo, Texas.
- AEI is co-operating with the Chapmans and now maintains a herd of pure Bonsmara in Canada. Utilizing Canada's excellent bovine health status, Bonsmara genetics are now available world-wide.
