What We Do

Our Beef Farming & Trading Services

01
🐄

Livestock Sourcing

We source cattle from pastoral communities and livestock markets across Laikipia, Garissa, and northern Kenya — building lasting relationships that ensure consistent supply and fair pricing for farmers.

02
🌾

Feedlot Finishing

Sourced cattle are brought to our Nanyuki feedlot for a structured finishing program of 90–120 days. Animals receive balanced rations of silage, concentrates, and minerals to achieve optimal market weight.

03
🏪

Market Trading

We supply finished cattle and beef carcasses to leading processors, butcheries, hotels, and supermarkets. Our market network spans major centres including Nairobi, Mombasa, Nakuru, and Garissa.

04
🚚

Livestock Transport

Dedicated livestock transport vehicles ensure cattle are moved humanely and efficiently from source to feedlot and from feedlot to market — maintaining animal welfare and minimising transit stress.

05
🩺

Animal Health Management

All cattle undergo health screening on arrival, with regular vaccination, deworming, and veterinary oversight throughout the feedlot period to reduce mortality and maximise weight performance.

06
📊

Record Keeping & Traceability

Individual animal records are maintained from sourcing through to sale — enabling full traceability, performance tracking, and compliance with processor and export market requirements.
