ABOUT US
The modern-day Arcadia Bonsmara has its roots in the harsh and tick-infested Bushveld of North Western Transvaal. This was where Arthur Edward de Villiers started breeding stud cattle in 1937. Nowadays the Arcadia Bonsmara cow herd consists of approximately 1 000 Stud Proper AG breeding females. Another 200 JV-cows are managed and bred with AG bulls to produce Commercial bulls for local commercial breeders.
All cows are mated in a multiple sire system with DNA sire identification. We also do AI on some cows and heifers in the beginning of the breeding season.
