Every animal on Beskuitfontein is fully traceable – from date of birth, weight and growth history, genetics and medicine records. Beskuitfontein is also certified with the Responsible Wool Standard and Cape Wools Standard.
One of the more unique aspects of Beskuitfontein’s farming approach is its elevated indoor lambing facility known as the “maternity ward” on the farm. This facility enables Beskuitfontein’s motto to “MAKE EVERY LAMB COUNT” by implementing a precision farming and intensive lambing system (High Input Sustainable Agriculture model).
Beskuitfontein have been following sustainable farming practices for decades – with a focus on grazing management practices aimed at conserving, restoring and regenerating the Karoo to a more functional and productive state. On the farm’s trails various of Beskuitfontein’s water management- and erosion control projects are on display – showing how effective such interventions can be in restoring severe erosion dongas and gullies.
