Roan
We started breeding with Roan antelope in 2018, with a bull and cows from Thaba Tholo. With our expertise on Roan breeding we managed to have a 100% survival rate of our first calves which we are very thankful for.
We have also started a project with Roans on the reserve, we are currently monitoring them to see how they do. Our aim is to breed Roans that can survive on their own without human intervention on the reserve.
We started our Roan breeding project in 2018, acquiring our foundation herd — a bull and select cows from Thaba Tholo.
With our expertise in Roan management and breeding, we achieved an exceptional 100% survival rate with our first calves, a result we are truly proud and thankful for.
Our Roan project has since expanded to include herds on the reserve, where we are currently monitoring their adaptation and performance in a free-roaming environment.
Our ultimate goal is to breed strong, self-sustaining Roans that can thrive naturally without human intervention.
