Günzel Farming: A Legacy of Excellence

In 1994 the farm Ludendorf near Grootfontein was bought and the first arable land was sown with corn. The farm stands on many different disciplines of farming. The commercial cattle herd where bulls for slaughter are produced for the market. The studs are namely Simmentaler, Brahman and Boran. Here bulls and cows are provided to stud breeders and commercial farmers.
After which transport becomes a part of the business. The arable farming has become a fairly large branch, and we try to get enough of a reserve for the cattle to ensure good recovery from bad years. We produce our own feed for the cattle.

Our Vision

Our vision is to produce breeding material for commercial farmers and stud breeders, that can prosper under the southern African conditions and ensure profitable farming.

Breeding Goals

  • Medium framed
  • Well muscled
