CX Livestock specialises in the Bosvelder sheep, a proudly South African breed known for its hardiness, fertility, and efficient veld-to-meat conversion.
Developed specifically for South Africa’s tough and varied conditions—including high-rainfall, non-traditional sheep farming areas—the Bosvelder is a composite of the Pedi, White Dorper, and Van Rooy breeds. This unique genetic mix results in a resilient, low-maintenance animal ideal for farming in any environment.
Bosvelders thrive where other breeds struggle. They are highly fertile, fast-growing, and display excellent mothering instincts, along with strong natural resistance to common sicknesses and diseases such as heartwater, as well as a strong natural resistance to internal and external parasites. These qualities make them an ideal, sustainable choice for farmers seeking veld-adapted, profitable genetics.
