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.

Tobias Günzel, born in 1898 in Lausitz/ Sachsen, Germany, after the second world war, immigrated to South West Africa to make a living there and work as a building contractor as a start. His sister was already living on the farm, Okamutombe, near Grootfontein, that is why he started working on the surrounding farms.
