The Brahman in Namibia

Over the past 60 years the Brahman has dramatically influenced and changed the composition of the Namibian national cattle herd. This is due to its ability to cross so well with virtually any other breed of cattle as well as its hardiness and adaptability, that allow them to thrive in the harsh Namibian conditions.

The Namibian Brahman Breeders Society is dedicated to serving the interest of the Brahman breed in Namibia.
