Our breeding programme

About SPM Bonsmara

SPM Bonsmara is developing a South African breeding programme focused on commercial cattle producers and the decisions that make a bull suitable for their herds.

Superior · Performance · Maternal Genetics

Our breeding direction puts the females behind the bulls in focus: reproductive histories, calf performance, longevity and suitability to production conditions. Balanced selection considers fertility, calving ease, growth, milk and maintenance alongside structural soundness and temperament.

Evidence before promises

Animal-specific claims should be supported by available records. Heifer suitability is not a blanket promise: it requires relevant evidence for the individual sire. We aim to make both the supporting information and its limitations clear.

A considered purchase

Start with your location, herd size, breeding dates, objectives and budget. Review current stock and available documentation before agreeing an inspection, sale terms and handover. Transport must comply with applicable veterinary and movement controls.

Selected breeding females may be offered when surplus to the foundation programme. Bull hire and semen distribution are potential future avenues, not confirmed current offers.
