The ZBBS
Boran cattle were introduced into Zimbabwe in late 1993 via an embryo transplant programme.
The then Boran Cattle Society was formed in 1996 but failed to become active due to low animal and breeder numbers. The Society was resuscitated in 2011 as The Zimbabwe Boran Breeders Society (ZBBS). Since then, the ZBBS has continued to play a pivotal role in promoting the breed’s suitability for the country’s farming conditions. With the Society’s efforts, the breed continues to rise in popularity in our national cattle herds, offering a profitable and efficient solution for cattle producers nationwide.
