Huntersvlei Sussex prides itself on breeding exceptional female animals. We believe that exceptional cows will produce exceptional bulls. Through high levels of prepotency, our breeding has ensured that the maternal traits of our cows are passed on from generation to generation.
Through low birth weights, high milk indexes, and hereditable maternal instincts, the Huntersvlei Sussex cow herd breeds animals that have low birth weights and excellent weaning weights and can meet the diverse needs of stud and commercial farmers alike in all climatic regions of southern Africa.
Through annual performance testing and strict selection criteria, veterinary checks, and the adoption of modern livestock production techniques, Huntersvlei Sussex remains at the forefront of beef cattle breeding in South Africa.

The Sussex breed is one of the oldest pure cattle breeds in the world.
Sussex cattle have the potential to improve the profitability of your beef herd. They are medium-early maturing, and they are well suited for crossbreeding, especially with indigenous breeds. Sussex prepotency ensures that crossbred calves attain better wean weights and capacity. Sussex are not only extremely adaptable animals, but they are also renowned for their calm temperament.
