Our Boran journey began in 2015 with the establishment of the Princess Boran stud, registered with the Stud Book South Africa and the Boran Breeders’ Society of South Africa.
The focus from the beginning was simple: secure the best Boran genetics available in South Africa and build from there. Through careful selection of both sire and heifer lines, a strong and distinctive genetic base took shape, guided by a long-term focus on performance, fertility and adaptability.
The goal wasn’t just to breed cattle. It was to build a registered stud capable of consistently delivering high-quality Boran genetics. Every animal was selected with that in mind.
Princess Boran left a legacy of a well-established stud, producing registered Boran cattle suited to both stud breeding programmes and commercial operations. These genetics are now used by breeders locally and internationally, while also supporting crossbreeding programmes that improve meat production efficiency.
In 2024, Princess Boran took over the Meybor Boran stud, bringing two established programmes together.
This led to the formation of QT Boran – a stud built on the combined strength of Princess Boran and Meybor Boran, where strong genetics meet with a touch of royalty.
This wasn’t just a consolidation. It was a move to strengthen genetics, increase capacity and raise the overall standard. QT Boran represents the next phase of growth, where proven bloodlines are backed by a more focused, practical breeding approach.
The Meybor Boran stud, founded in 2007, played an important role in the development of Boran genetics in South Africa.
It quickly became clear that the Boran offered something different – not just in appearance, but in how it performs under African conditions. Fertility, resilience and efficiency made it a valuable breed for local production.
At a time when top Boran genetics were difficult to access, Meybor focused on investing in elite females, particularly registered embryo donors. This supported a structured embryo programme that expanded quality genetics and made them more widely available to the market.
The stud drew on strong Kenyan bloodlines, including genetics from Mogwooni, Waragus and Solio. These formed the backbone of a programme built on performance, fertility and consistency.
Today, QT Boran continues to build on that foundation. The focus remains straightforward:
