The family run Jacré stud
was founded in 1987 by
Pierre van Niekerk and
continues to be one of the
oldest active Limousin studs
in Southern Africa. The herd
started with using a few
mature cows from the Brilor
and Bon Chance studs in this
country, and through the
import of in-calf heifers,
embryo transfer programs and
artificial insemination, the
herd has only grown from
strength to strength over
the last thirty years in
South Africa.
Jacré strives to breed
females that exhibit
femininity, fertility and
veld adaptability throughout
the wide range of South
Africa’s climates, and
produces beefy, broad and
docile bulls.
However, it is in the
commercial cattle sector
where Jacré boasts most of
its achievements. In
addition to proving the
powerful beef yielding
ability of the Limousin in
crossbreeding, the stud to
date, is the only two-time
title holder of the SAMIC
Individual Carcass
competition (in 1999/2000
and 2004/2005)as well as
being placed Group Runner-up
(1998) and Single Runner-up
(1998).
The stud is based in the
transitional Karoo near
Bedford in the Eastern Cape
and is farmed extensively in
the Fish River Valley
Thornveld, where all females
run most of the year.
The VG prefix has sired many
of South Africa’s top
animals, the most notable of
these being: VG9139 Jacre
Cobra, VG9145 Jacre Cyclone,
VG9572 Jacre Gigilo, VG9558
Jacre Governor, VG9341 Jacre
Excellent, VG9734 Jacre
Incredible, VG9879 Jacre
Judge, VG1263 Jacre Aston
Thetis and possibly the
most well-known being
VG9915 Jacre Killer.
On the scale, the veld and
the show ring, trust VG for
quality genetics.
Visitors and enquiries are
always welcome.
